Bridges hit a 3-pointer before securing a rebound and throwing a full-court outlet to Curt Jones for a dunk to push the advantage to 19. Bridges then got a steal and Jones took another long outlet and dished it to Thomas Bryant for a bucket to push the lead to 21 before the Dolphins ever got on the board in the second half. Bryant led all scorers with 23 points and nine rebounds while Jones added 21 for the Irish to go with Bridges’ triple-double.
