Florida State takes on Notre Dame after Wiggins' 23-point outing

Florida State faces the Notre Dame Fighting Irish after Chauncey Wiggins scored 23 points in the Seminoles' 88-80 win against the Stanford Cardinal

Cole Certa - 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).

Markus Burton - Uncertainty regarding return Burton (ankle) has recently shed both his walking boot, and then his brace, but if or when he'll return this season remains uncertain, Tom Noie of the South Bend Tribune reports.

Impact Burton suffered the injury in the 10th game of Notre Dame's season back on Dec. 5, and while it didn't require surgery, it was clear he was going to miss a significant amount of time. Nearly two months later, Burton still doesn't have an official timetable, and the current state of the Notre Dame program is undoubtedly playing a factor in that. The Irish have lost seven of their last eight games to fall to 2-7 in conference play, and even with a big late-season run, they would likely be on the outside looking in with respect to an NCAA Tournament berth. Burton would technically be eligible for a redshirt if he is injured before 30 percent of his team's season is complete, and a late-season return to a team with little hope would jeopardize that. If Burton chooses to remain sidelined, however, he would still have two years of eligibility remaining -- that's two more years with a potential fresh start, as well as plenty of NIL-earning potential.

Cole Certa - 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.

Brady Koehler - Career day against Virginia Koehler recorded 16 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, four blocks and three steals across 42 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 100-97 2OT loss to Virginia.

Impact Koehler was largely off the fantasy radar in non-conference play, but a recent lineup reshuffle has seen the freshman in an expanded role of late. He scored 17 in a Jan. 17 matchup at Virginia Tech, and proceeded to enter the starting lineup in Notre Dame's next game. While he was limited offensively in games against UNC and Boston College, Koehler put his stamp on this one with his first career double-double and plenty of peripheral stats to boot, though it's worth noting the two extra overtime periods helped his case. Nonetheless, this is a Notre Dame team in complete limbo without star guard Markus Burton, so coach Micah Shrewsberry will continue to experiment with different lineups, and that includes seeing what he has in this year's freshman class.

Braeden Shrewsberry - Comes alive in tight win Shrewsberry ended Saturday's 68-64 win over Boston College with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 33 minutes.

Impact Shrewsberry had been slumping of late and was coming off four straight outings in single digits. However, he came to life when the Fighting Irish needed him the most, and this 22-point output was his second-best mark of the entire 2025-26 campaign. Notre Dame need Shrewsberry to be at his best offensively as long as Markus Burton (ankle) remains sidelined.

Jalen Haralson - Scores 13 points in blowout loss Haralson logged 13 points (6-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 91-69 loss to North Carolina.

Impact Haralson was the only starter -- and one of two Notre Dame players -- who scored in double digits in this 22-point loss to the Tar Heels. Haralson has done a good job of stepping up on offense due to the absence of Markus Burton (ankle), and even though the Fighting Irish have struggled massively of late due to a 1-5 ACC record, Haralson offers decent upside due to his usage rate and his established role as the Fighting Irish's No. 1 scoring weapon.

Kebba Njie - Out for remainder of season Njie (knee) is out for the remainder of Notre Dame's 2025-26 season, according to the team's announcement Monday.

Impact During one of Notre Dame's previous games, seemingly Tuesday against Miami, Njie suffered a knee injury that will prematurely end not only his 2025-26 season but also his collegiate career. The campaign marks his last year of collegiate eligibility, and he used it to log a third season with Notre Dame. Njie went from a regular starter to more of a microwave role player, and in his 17 games (zero starts), he averaged 2.5 points and 3.4 rebounds while shooting a career-best 63.2 percent from the field.
