Stuffs stat sheet Saturday Konieczny racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 69-64 victory over Syracuse.

Impact One could point at the fact that Konieczny posted his best scoring output of the campaign, or that he stuffed the stat sheet admirably in this ACC matchup. However, the junior guard can use this game as a bounce-back performance. He had gone scoreless in four of his previous five appearances, though he didn't play more than 11 minutes in any of those contests. Konieczny will aim to build off this performance when Notre Dame takes on Dartmouth on Wednesday.

Solid numbers off bench Tuesday Konieczny logged 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and four rebounds in 19 minutes during Tuesday's 75-58 victory over North Dakota.

Impact Konieczny was one of two Notre Dame players who scored in double digits Tuesday, with Markus Burton being the other, and he posted a solid stat line across the board. This was his first game with double-digit points, and he should continue to see steady minutes off the bench, even if that limits his fantasy upside.

Sniffs double-double Konieczny racked up 13 points (6-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Saturday's 72-68 OT loss to Georgetown.

Impact Konieczny finished just two rebounds away from recording what would've been his third double-double of the season. Even though Konieczny started the season as a bench option, he has fully earned his place in the first unit. Since moving to the starting lineup, he's averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals per game.

Will redshirt Konieczny will redshirt Notre Dame's 2022-23 season, according to Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune.

Impact Konieczny was not expected to be a valued player of the Fighting Irish's 2022-23 season while they still have Dane Goodwin and Trey Wertz rostered. Both small forwards are seniors though. So when Konieczny is available again during 2023, he has an advantageous opportunity to be significant across the Fighting Irish's team later that year.
