Cole Certa scores career-high 37 points and Notre Dame tops Georgia Tech 89-74

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

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.

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).

Drops 34 in 2-OT loss Certa produced 34 points (10-19 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 9-11 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 100-97 2OT loss to Virginia.

Impact Certa has more than doubled his minutes and quadrupled his scoring average in his second season with the Irish, and while most will remember Notre Dame giving up a big lead here, the 6-5 guard now has a career day in the books. He admittedly doesn't offer much peripherally outside of scoring, but now we have a ceiling, at least when he's making regular starts.

Scores 22 in season opener Certa finished with 22 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 25 minutes during Monday's 89-67 victory over LIU.

Impact Certa came off the bench in the season opener but was excellent as a scoring weapon, surpassing the 20-point plateau for the first time in his career and showing he's ready to contribute after a freshman year in which he didn't play much. Certa will likely make a strong push for more minutes if he's able to settle himself as a reliable scoring weapon in the second unit for the Fighting Irish.
