NOTES
- The Catamounts return three senior guards in Woolbright, Jackson and Jones and they were all picked as preseason first-team all SoCon. It should present a quality test for Notre Dame’s freshmen guards.
- Western Carolina went 18-16 a year ago, but did add eight transfers in the offseason.
- Notre Dame forward Kebba Njie is not expected to play as he recovers from a hand injury.
