#2 Ven-Allen Lubin Men's Basketball Roster

2022-23 Season (Freshman at Notre Dame):

• Entered the transfer portal in April after the season’s completion.
• 2023 ACC All-Academic Team
• Played in 28 games, with seven starts, and averaged 17.5 minutes.
• Suffered a left ankle sprain at Boston College on Jan. 3 and missed the next two games. Returned at Syracuse on Jan. 14. Reinjured the same ankle at a practice and missed two more games because of it.
• With that said, after returning from injury at Georgia Tech on Feb. 8, Lubin started his first collegiate game and had one his best performances, a then season-best 13 points. He was nearly perfect from the field at 6-for-7. Also grabbed seven rebounds. Could have had bigger numbers but was limited to just 10 min per half due to foul trouble.
• One-upped that performance with a career-high 19 points at Wake Forest (2/25), where he went 9-of-13 from the field. Had a near double-double with eight boards and tied his career high of three blocks.
• Recorded a season-best four straight double-digit scoring performances from Jan. 24-Feb 14.
• Filled in admirably at NC State (Jan. 26) for a foul-riddled Laszewski, posting 10 points, five boards and two blocks.
• ND’s best offensive rebound option – team-best 1.6 per game.
• Knocked down 58.0 percent from the floor overall, which led the team. That number ranked 6th all-time for an ND freshman, with the top spot belonging to Harold Swanagan (.645 in 98-99).
• In 15 minutes of action vs BC on Jan. 21, Lubin grabbed four of the team’s seven offensive boards. He also supplied seven points.
• Was subbed in for his defense with under a minute left in the Boston U game and it paid off, earning a pivotal block and rebound, then converting a free throw on the other end. He finished with nine points, five rebounds and a career-best three blocks.
• First career double-double on Nov. 25 vs St. Bonaventure – 10 points and 13 rebounds.
• First double-digit scoring performance against Bowling Green on Nov. 22. Lubin had 10 points at the half and finished with 12 on 6-of-9 shooting. He also dished out a career-high two assists.
• Flashed his athletic prowess in game two vs Youngstown St on Nov. 13. Whether it was running down a Penguin player to record a big block, draining his first career three, or simply going 4-for-4 from the field.

Brey on Lubin

“Ven-Allen is a positionless basketball player. He has the ability to post up, face up, run and change ends. He also brings great length on the defensive end.”
