SOUTH BEND -- Mouhamadou Gueye posted 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocks but it wasn't enough to overcome blistering shooting from beyond teh arch by Notre Dame as the Panthers dropped their regular season finale Saturday afternoon at Purcell Pavilion.

John Hugley added 13 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field and 3-of-5 from the free throw line, while Nate Santos came off the bench to score seven points.
