Cole Certa scored a career-high 37 points, including a career-high seven 3-pointers, and Notre Dame rolled past Georgia Tech 89-74 to snap a five-game losing streak

FEBRUARY 14 • Associated Press

Explodes for 37 points in win Certa contributed 37 points (12-20 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and three rebounds in 40 minutes during Saturday's 89-74 victory over Georgia Tech.

Impact Certa has been a go-to scorer for the Irish this season, and he showcased his dominance once again in the win over Tech. The 6-foot-5 sophomore's 37 points were his second time this season with 30 or more points, and he's now averaging 21 points in the last six games. He should continue to be a problem for other teams moving forward, and he'll look to keep his momentum going at Pitt next Saturday.

Available vs. GT Certa (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's game against Georgia Tech.

Impact Considering that Certa's previous status was probable for Saturday, his updated availability against Georgia Tech should not be so surprising, though the earlier update reasonably raised some concern. He has become a regular starter in conference action and has rewarded the decision by averaging 17.8 points across his last five games. What makes Certa's scoring outstanding is that most of it has come from three-pointers, with the five-game span including 4.0 3PM on a 37.0 percent clip.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed probable Certa (undisclosed) is listed as probable for Notre Dame's game at Georgia Tech.

Impact Certa has yet to miss a game this season, and he's started the last seven contests for the Irish, averaging 15.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in that span. The sophomore guard should still play barring any setbacks, but he'll be worth keeping an eye on.

Goes for 18 points Certa recorded 18 points (6-18 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 76-65 loss to Louisville.

Impact Certa has started in each of Notre Dame's last five games, but he's scored in double digits in just two of those contests. The inconsistencies he's had of late limit his upside, but as long as he continues in a starting role, he'll have opportunities to produce in a depleted backcourt that continues to miss Markus Burton (ankle).
