6-10, 240 pound senior forward Zack Auguste has been really good in Notre Dame’s front court this season. He’s recorded 19 double-doubles and averaged one for the season with 14.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.

He’s had some really strong performances this year in games against Duke and Miami, and he’ll look to continue performing well against tough competition this weekend when the Irish square off against the winner of the Michigan and Tulsa game, and a possible tilt against West Virginia in the second round.

The Irish will look inside to Auguste often need him to play his best basketball of the season to extend their journey into March.
