Ben Hansbrough led Notre Dame with 21 points Tuesday night and helped hold Kemba Walker to 19 as the Irish stayed unbeaten at home by holding off the Huskies 73-70.

Walker was averaging 26.7 points on the season and had his streak of 11 straight games with at least 20 points stopped.

"He's one of the best guards in the country. That's a great challenge for me. When I see somebody as talented as him, I see that as a challenge," said Hansbrough. "He's a great competitor. It was a fun night to play against him."
