Shrewsberry, an Indiana native, went 37-31 in two seasons at Penn State, including a run to the second round of the NCAA Tournament this season. Penn State beat Texas A&M in the Round of 64, securing its first tournament win since 2001. The team lost to Texas in Round 2.
Shrewsberry will replace longtime Notre Dame coach Mike Bray, who spent the last 23 years at the helm of the men's basketball team.
