Markus Burton scored an early season-high 25 points and Notre Dame withstood a late rally to defeat Bellarmine 86-79

Struggles with shot Sunday Burton contributed 14 points (3-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 64-63 loss to Ohio State.

Impact Burton is expected to be one of the most dominant scoring forces in the ACC, but that won't be the case if he continues to struggle with his shot as much as he's done of late. Even though Burton has scored in double digits in his four outings this season, the lack of efficiency is hurting him. The junior guard is making just 40.7 percent of his shots from the field and 30.8 percent of his three-pointers.

Impact There was no reason for the Fighting Irish to risk Burton in a game they won by 32 points, so he was limited to just 17 minutes. He still made a sizable impact when he was out there, though. Expect Burton to remain as Notre Dame's primary offensive weapon going forward.

Experimenting with new roles Notre Dame's team is working on getting Burton more off-ball sequences for its 2025-26 season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Notre Dame's 2024-25 season saw Burton log 21.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game, his statistical rates' high output a result of the team having few options to work with. This season, it appears they are testing Logan Imes, Jalen Haralson and Sir Mohammed more at point guard. By playing them next to Burton, perhaps they can ease his on-ball usage. While the ND superstar's assist numbers may dip, his scoring likely stays the same or slightly increases. More importantly, Burton being less on the ball may mean less risk for injury, which is what prevented him from maximizing his 2024-25 season's production.
