Guard Temple Gibbs scored a career-high 23 points and guard Matt Farrell had 18 as No. 13 Notre Dame overwhelmed Chicago State 105-66 on Thursday night at the Edmund Joyce Center in South Bend, Ind.

Gibbs had 13 points in the first half and Colson 11.

Notre Dame will play Chaminade in the first round of the Maui Invitational on Monday. The winner will play the winner of the LSU-Michigan game on Tuesday.
