SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Notre Dame coach Mike Brey wasn't asked about the play of Luke Harangody until his postgame news conference was almost over.

"I hope our people appreciate what they're seeing with this guy. He's the best player in college basketball and to do what he does in a machinelike way every day, every night is really staggering," he said. "Sometimes even I go, 'Yeah, 29 and 15. He did it again.'"

Harangody had 29 points and 15 rebounds to help No. 23 Notre Dame beat Kennesaw State 80-62 in the Chicago Invitational Challenge on Tuesday night. He had a double-double in the first half with 16 points and 11 rebounds and picked up his 1,000th career rebound in the second half, becoming just the fifth Irish player to pass that mark. (MORE)
