Tuesday, December 18, 2018

(SOUTH BEND) – Notre Dame senior guard Rex Pflueger will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, he announced Monday on Twitter. Pflueger, a 6-foot-6 wing, suffered the injury during the Fighting Irish's 88-80 win over Purdue on Saturday. He has been a consistent member of Mike Brey's rotation for the last four seasons. Pflueger came off the bench as a freshman, but hit the game winner against Stephen F. Austin in the 2016 NCAA tournament. After continuing as a role player as a sophomore, Pflueger moved into the starting lineup last season and averaged 8.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists. As a senior, Pflueger was averaging 8.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists, while shooting 38.9 percent from 3-point range. He had 10 assists in 30 minutes during the win over Purdue on Saturday. Notre Dame is 7-3 and hosts Binghamton on Tuesday.
