Notre Dame bids to replicate defensive effort at Cal

Notre Dame seeks to complete a sweep of the Atlantic Coast Conference's West Coast schools when the Fighting Irish visit Cal on Friday night in Berkeley, Calif.

Each team's second ACC contest of the season will be a rematch of last year's final regular-season game, when Notre Dame won an epic 112-110 battle in four overtimes on its home court.

This time around, Fighting Irish coach Micah Shrewsberry is focused on defense, the type that limited Stanford to 23.2% shooting in a 47-40 road win on Tuesday.
