FILE - In this March 3, 2021, file photo, Notre Dame's Prentiss Hubb (3) passes the ball during an NCAA college basketball game against North Carolina State in South Bend, Ind. Coming off an 11-15 campaign which ended with a 101-59 loss to North Carolina in the ACC Tournament — his most lopsided loss ever in 21 previous seasons as Notre Dame's winningest men's coach — Brey adds an impressive grad transfer in former Yale standout Paul Atkinson and two hometown freshmen to a senior-laden lineup led by Prentiss Hubb, Nate Laszewski and Dane Goodwin and hopes that will be enough to return the Fighting Irish to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
