Injury Report
No significant injuries have been reported for either team. Notre Dame's balanced rotation, with four players averaging at least 12.7 points, gives it flexibility to rest starters. South Carolina State's offense leans on Noah Treadwell, so his availability is critical. Late-game rotation decisions by Notre Dame matter more to the 26.5-point spread than any listed absence.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
Notre Dame's balanced attack and playmaking against South Carolina State's defense is the key edge. Braeden Smith's 7.0 assists fuel four double-figure scorers. The Bulldogs have faced weaker opponents, and the Irish should generate open looks, though covering 26.5 requires strong second-half bench play.
3 Things to Watch
- Notre Dame bench depth in the second half
- Noah Treadwell scoring for the Bulldogs
- Braeden Smith assist volume
Betting Breakdown
Notre Dame hosts South Carolina State at Purcell Pavilion at 7 PM ET with the Irish favored by 26.5 and the total at 148.5. Both teams are 3-0. Notre Dame won 74-72 at Villanova before beating Mercyhurst 83-56 and Eastern Illinois 94-70. Brady Koehler leads with 15.7 points and 6.7 rebounds, Braeden Shrewsberry adds 14.7, Ethan Roberts 14.3, and Braeden Smith runs the offense with 12.7 points and 7.0 assists. South Carolina State beat Morris College 94-55 and won road games at USC Upstate 78-70 and Chicago State 82-67. Noah Treadwell leads at 15.7 points, while Mitchell Taylor and DeShaun Jackson Jr. combine for nearly nine assists per game. The Bulldogs are confident, but they have not faced anything close to Notre Dame's talent. The Irish have the depth to keep pressure on for 40 minutes, yet huge spreads often hinge on how aggressively the favorite plays its reserves. Notre Dame's balance gives it a good chance to cover.
South Carolina State Betting Outlook
South Carolina State is 3-0 after beating Morris College at home and winning at USC Upstate and Chicago State. Noah Treadwell leads the scoring at 15.7 points per game, Teon Tindal adds 9.7 points and 4.7 rebounds, and Mitchell Taylor and DeShaun Jackson Jr. share playmaking duties. The Bulldogs have shown confidence on the road, but Notre Dame is a massive step up. Their path to covering 26.5 points relies on taking care of the ball, hitting perimeter shots and hanging around long enough for the Irish to empty the bench.
Notre Dame Betting Outlook
Notre Dame is 3-0 with a quality 74-72 road win at Villanova and comfortable home victories over Mercyhurst and Eastern Illinois. The Irish have balanced scoring, with Brady Koehler, Braeden Shrewsberry and Ethan Roberts each averaging over 14 points. Braeden Smith is the engine at 7.0 assists per game. Notre Dame's depth and efficiency should overwhelm South Carolina State, but a 26.5-point spread requires sustained intensity. If the Irish defend early and push pace, they can build a margin that holds even with reserves in.
