Last season, Beachem averaged 12.0 points and 3.9 rebounds per game before taking his game to the next level for the NCAA Tournament. During the tournament, Beachem improved his scoring average to 17.5 points per game en route to an Elite Eight appearance.

With Beachem back on the team, it looks like the Fighting Irish could be set to make yet another deep March Madness run next season.
