• After a record-setting performance in a demolition of North Carolina A&T on Sunday, Notre Dame looks for another first under coach Mike Brey when impressive Fort Wayne visits Tuesday.

• Evans posted his third double-double of the season with 23 points and 10 assists as the Mastodons beat Miami (Ohio) 87-71 on Saturday. Fort Wayne is averaging 88.7 points, shooting 51 percent from the field and 41 percent from long-range. Evans, from Indianapolis, is not the only weapon, as 6-1 Bryson Scott averages 16.9 points on 53-percent shooting, 6-5 John Konchar chips in 13.2 points and 7.7 rebounds and 6-2 Kason Harrell averages 11.1 points and is 20-of-45 beyond the arc.

The 6-8 Beachem (17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds) has scored in double figures in 14 straight games and fellow senior Steve Vasturia (15.9 points) leads all starters by shooting 51.2 percent from the floor. The Fighting Irish average 89.1 points, shoot 43 percent from the arc and a Division I-best 85.8 percent from the free-throw line.

• The last Notre Dame player to record five consecutive double-doubles was Zach Auguste, who did so last season.

• Notre Dame G Matt Farrell is 20-of-20 from the charity stripe, Vasturia is 22-of-23 and Colson is 42-of-46.

• Irish eclipsed the 100-point mark against the Aggies for the first time since Nov. 19, 2014, against Coppin State, and the 107 points are the most since putting up 108 against Northern Illinois on Dec. 8, 2007.
