Notre Dame vs. FSU: Score and Reaction from 2017 Regular Season

An incredible shooting night from three-point range wasn't enough to keep No. 15 Notre Dame undefeated in ACC play.

No. 10 Florida State allowed the Fighting Irish to make 71.4 percent of their shots from beyond the arc but still found a way to come through with an 83-80 win at home Wednesday.

Both teams are now tied with North Carolina on top of the ACC standings at 5-1.

Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports made a bold statement about the Seminoles:

Jonathan Isaac made a big impact on both ends of the floor, ending his night with 23 points, 10 rebounds and seven blocks.

Safid Deen of the Orlando Sentinel noted that was part of the game plan:

Florida State finished with 11 blocks as a team, preventing the Irish from getting anything easy inside.

Meanwhile, Seminoles guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes scored all eight of his points in the second half to go with seven assists and just one turnover.

Fox Sports South showed some of the two key players' biggest moments:

Notre Dame was unstoppable from beyond the arc, shooting 15-of-21. Steve Vasturia and Matt Farrell led the way with 18 and 17 points, respectively, but 18 turnovers created problems for the Irish.

The team's 32.4 percent mark on two-point baskets didn't help, either, as Notre Dame fell for the first time in eight games.

The game started with a fast pace, although it didn't always lead to a high level of play, as the teams combined for 25 turnovers in the first half.

The early scoring came from unlikely sources on both sides.

T.J. Gibbs scored 11 points in the first half for Notre Dame, with Angelo Di Carlo of WNDU describing his impact in the opening minutes:

PJ Savoy did the damage for Florida State, hitting back-to-back three-pointers to help the home team create some breathing room. Corey Clark of the Tallahassee Democrat described the run:

This big dunk capped Florida State's 8-2 run in less than a minute, via Fox Sports South:

Still, the Irish kept things competitive and went into halftime with just a 39-33 deficit.

Rob Dauster of College Basketball Talk argued Notre Dame deserved more points:

Calls aside, Florida State entered the second half with a six-point advantage, although some poor shooting hurt the team's ability to build on its lead.

Both sides were ice-cold from the field after intermission, but Notre Dame tied the score at 49-49 with just over 12 minutes remaining in the game.

Every time the Seminoles appeared to be ready to pull away, the Irish came back with a big three-pointer. Tim Linafelt of Florida State's official website described the road team's impressive performance:

Notre Dame took its first lead of the second half, 60-58, which was followed by some back-and-forth play.

That was until Isaac took over, scoring nine points during an 11-1 Florida State run that gave the Seminoles a 73-65 lead with just over two minutes remaining.

ESPN.com's Jeff Borzello described one of the highly regarded prospect's impressive sequences:

The two sides traded big shots in the final minutes, but the Irish weren't able to overcome the deficit. Quality free-throw shooting down the stretch was enough for the Seminoles to secure another big win for their resume.

The brutal ACC schedule continues for Florida State, which will stay home to take on Louisville on Saturday. Notre Dame will have an easier battle at home against Syracuse, but it will follow that up with a matchup against Virginia.

Both Florida State and Notre Dame should be near the top of the conference standings all season, although each game will be a challenge.

Postgame Reaction

Both coaches were complimentary of the other team after the game.

Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton was quick to discuss the impressive shooting from Notre Dame.

"It's hard to shoot 71% from 3 when you're in the gym by yourself with no one guarding you," Hamilton said, per Linafelt.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey praised the Seminoles.

"They are really good," he said, per Ariya Massoudi of ACC Network. "Their defense and length bothered us."

He also doesn't want to see much more of Isaac.

"I have a lot of respect for that man. He should go pro," Brey joked, per Massoudi.

That will be a discussion for a later day, but it's clear Isaac can be a game-changer at this level.
