 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Tory Jackson has adjusted quickly to his new role as Notre Dame's full-time floor general. The freshman point guard tied a career high with 14 points to help the 17th-ranked Irish beat Louisville 78-62 on Wednesday night. Jackson was thrown into the starting lineup after Kyle McAlarney was arrested on a marijuana possession charge last week and suspended indefinitely.
Jackson also had five rebounds and four assists in his second career start. He showed he might be capable of leading the Irish through the Big East schedule if necessary by playing well in the conference opener for both teams.
"What can we say about the young point guard we rushed in there," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "He's a warrior, and I'm proud of him. This is a big maturing process for him."
