Final
Notre Dame never trails in 87-77 win over DePaul
Jan 23, 2010 - 9:12 PM By TOM COYNE AP Sports WriterSOUTH BEND, Ind.(AP) -- Tim Abromaitis scored 30 points, Luke Harangody added 24 and Ben Hansbrough had 15 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists to pace Notre Dame to an 87-77 win over DePaul on Saturday.
The Fighting Irish (15-5, 4-3 Big East), who ended a two-game losing streak, started the game with a 7-0 run, and the Blue Demons never got closer than five. DePaul used a 7-2 run to close to 77-71 with 69 seconds left on a 3-pointer by Mike Stovall.
But Harangody scored on an alley-oop pass from Abromaitis with 59 seconds left, then added two free throws with 49 seconds left to put the game way.
Notre Dame didn't commit its first turnover until Hansbrough had the ball stolen with 10:32 left in the game. The Irish finished with a season-low two turnovers.
Will Walker led DePaul (8-11, 1-6) with a career-high 35 points on 15-of-30 shooting.
