SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dames Big Three got the season started Saturday in a convincing way.Bonzie Colson had 23 points and nine rebounds, V.J. Beachem tied his career-high with 22 points, and fellow tri-captain Steve Vasturia added 16 to power Notre Dame to an 89-64 victory over Bryant.The Irish used an 18-2 second half run, capped by Rex Pfluegers 3-point play, to turn a single-digit lead into a 22-point advantage in a span of five minutes.The `Big Three led the way, said Notre Dame coach Mike Brey. That was good because it was a hard game.Notre Dame, which is coming off back-to-back Elite Eight runs in the NCAA Tournament, was just 3 of 16 from beyond the arc but hit 26 of 29 (89.7 percent) free-throw attempts.I love what we did from the foul line, Brey said. I think we can be right up there nationally.Nisre Zouzoua led Bryant with 19 points. Freshmen Sebastian Townes chipped in 16 points and Adam Grant had 13 before fouling out. The Bulldogs turned it over 13 times and shot 41 percent from the field.We were able to hold ourselves very competitively for a good portion of the game, said Bryant coach Tim OShea. It got away from us a little bit, but it was more of a function of how good Notre Dame is. We made some mistakes, but we werent overwhelmed.Known as a shoot-first 3-point threat, Beachem was a perfect 7 of 7 from the foul line, a result of his improved ability to drive to the basket rather than settle for jump shots.That was something I was focused on in the offseason, putting the ball on the deck, Beachem said. That was something I was hearing feedback on after the (NBA) draft process, so its something that I have to make a concerted effort to do rather than just spot up and shoot 3s.Colson scored on a variety of moves down low, but also stepped out and knocked down a 3-pointer, showcasing his offensive versatility.Hes an amazing guy, with a nose for the ball, Brey said. He sets the tone for us.FIRST HALF RUNSBryant missed its first nine shots and didnt score until nearly five minutes had passed while falling behind 9-0. But Grants consecutive 3-pointers sparked a 15-2 Bulldogs run that put them ahead 19-15 with nine minutes left in the first half.Beachem responded with seven straight points to start an 11-2 Irish run, and Notre Dame scored the final seven points of the half to build a 12-point lead.Its huge to have a guy like VJ who can stretch it and drive it, Colson said. We knew we would have to fight some adversity, but we just stayed together as a unit and stayed within ourselves.BIG PICTUREBryant: The Bulldogs, a Division I program since 2012, will play just four home games in the first two months of the season, while breaking in a six-man freshman class.Notre Dame: Debuting two new starters who played very little last year, Notre Dame improved to 17-0 under Mike Brey in season openers.
