FORT WORTH, Texas (WNDU/AP) - The Notre Dame men’s basketball team erased a nine-point halftime deficit and outlasted TCU 87–85 in overtime on Friday night after losing star guard Markus Burton to injury in the first half.

Burton went down a little over halfway through the first half after he landed awkwardly with his left foot while scoring a basket. According to our reporting partners at the South Bend Tribune , a Notre Dame basketball spokesperson said Burton was still being evaluated at halftime.

TCU (5-3) led 75-74 with 30 seconds left in regulation, but the Horned Frogs missed three chances to close it out
