Marvin Bagley is good.
The freshman put together a 33-point 17-rebound night (his fourth 30-15 of the season) and the second-seeded Blue Devils rolled into the semifinals with an 88-70 win.
Senior Grayson Allen was also great - 23 points on 5-of-6 from three-point range - and freshman Trevon Duval handed out 11 assists.
Matt Farrell did Duval one better with a career-high game of 12 assists, but hit just 3-of-11 from three (the Irish were 5-of-23 as a team).

Game 433 - Notre Dame women at Michigan
November 29 at Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, MI
Big 10 Network
Just a phenomenal performance by Notre Dame's Arike Ogunbowale in this Big 10/ACC Challenge game.
Ogunbowale hit a variety of nice pull up and fade away jumpers on her way to 32 points (tied a career high) as the Associated Press No. 3 Irish stayed unbeaten at 7-0 with an 83-63 victory.
Ogunbowale, a junior guard, made 65% of her field goal attempts (13-of-20), but it was a bit of her distribution that allowed Notre Dame to start to pull away. The visitors led 43-34 at halftime and it was a still a nine-point game early in the third when No. 22 Michigan turned the ball over and missed a lay up, which each led to perfectly executed Ogunbowale-to-Jackie Young fast break lay-ups that made it a 50-37 game.
Young, coming off an MVP performance in the Gulf Coast Showcase, had 18 points and 14 rebounds.
It was already Notre Dame's fourth win over a ranked opponent through the season's first three weeks. The Irish have also defeated No. 5 and defending national champion South Carolina in the Gulf Coast title game, No. 17 South Florida and 21st-ranked Oregon State. Connecticut will be the fifth when the Irish visit Storrs on Sunday.
Tough night for Katelynn Flaherty. The senior guard, Michigan's all-time leading scorer and second-leading scorer nationally coming into the night, missed 13 of her 18 field goal attempts and finished with just 13 points. Junior center Hallie Thome picked up the slack, scoring 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting.

Game 423 - Notre Dame vs. LSU
November 21 at Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, HI
[Maui Invitational semifinals]
ESPN
Impressive victory for the Fighting Irish, who moved into the tournament final with a 92-53 win.
The defense held LSU to 36 percent shooting (19-of-52) and forced 17 turnovers. Meanwhile, point guard Matt Farrell was in control of the game from the start, finishing with 17 points and seven assists. Great night as well for Temple Gibbs (26 points, 6-of-10 shooting from three).
Led by Farrell, the 5-0 Irish had 18 assists on 33 made field goals and turned the ball over just five times.
Wichita State's excellent guard Landry Shamet goes up against Farrell in what should be a great championship game on Wednesday.

Game 373 - (12) Princeton vs. (5) Notre Dame
NCAA Tournament first round
March 16 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, NY
CBS
Princeton was trying to become the third consecutive Ivy League 12-seed to win a first-round game, but Devin Cannady's 3-pointer with a few seconds left was a bit long and the Irish survived 60-58.
Cannady had a great look and I thought at first it was good. The Tigers, in the tournament for the first time since 2010-2011, had a 19-game winning streak snapped and lost for the first time since last December 20. Princeton's last NCAA win came in 1998.
Notre Dame escaped thanks to Bonzie Colson (18 and 7, 6-of-13 from the field) and Matt Farrell (16 points, 6-of-9 with four assists) because the rest of the team shot just 30%.
I was surprised to learn that the Irish are the only team to appear in each of the last two Elite 8s. Two more wins and the Big East runner-up will make it three straight.
