We had the Notre Dame Cincinatti game on just before the football game Monday night. We had 50 people over to the house but they didn't show much interest in the basketball game. I don't get it. We have a very very good team this year. Maybe the best since Hansbrough was leading the charge.

 

This team is fun to watch. We pass better then anyone I've seen and we can play with anybody, even Duke. We are on a big winning streak and we play Connecticut Saturday. We will beat them, no problem. We will move into the top 15 next week and will be in first place of the Big East. The Big East is still formidable and we have a great chance to win it.

 

Our girls are ranked second nationally and just defeated Connecticut on their home court. They are fun to watch.

 

So if you want to speed up the process of waiting for spring football, get over here and post on basketball. This team will not disappoint us come tournament time. We are just too good. Check it out.

YEA BUDDY!

Like Okie says...This is a fun team. We have some inside game, tremendous passing, and, like always the threes.

The difference to me, this year, is between the passing and guard athleticism, ND has enough to beat the press and keep up with the better teams. They WILL make a tournament run this year. Book it!

Connecticut comes into town today!! How things have changed. I'm looking for a ten point win. Cooley should do well against them. Where's all the basketball fans??

My boys have a game today so I'll spend a good part of the afternoon reffing and coaching our game....I also don't get Big East Network, so update the board if you watch it Okie so I have something I can check out when I get home.

I too expect them to handle Uconn today. This team is inspired and playing with great confidence. They exemplify how basketball should be played....unselfishly.....

What channe is the game on....anyone know who's broadcasting....ESPN has freakin Tennessee Alabama on

Big East Network. 37-36 ND. Been a tight game

I got the game on my computer and played it on my 85 inch screen. We sucked. Cooley kept getting schooled. I wanted to bring in Auguste as he is quicker, but he never came in. Some bad no calls down the stretch. Time to regroup. Just seems everything is going south these days.

What the #$#@. Cooley has been the man so far this year. He has been a rebounding machine both offensively and defensively. I looked at the box score and it looks like Grant played like crap. What else went on?

Connecticut was bigger and quicker then I anticipated. I missed the first half when we actually lead, but I never saw Connaughton do anything. Martin shot one 3 and it was horribly short. Connecticut came to play and played a tough man to man. We were in man and I wanted to go zone to protect Cooley and it never happened. It was tough to watch.

Uconn was not bigger by no means Brey has to play Cam B. and Sherman more Sherman had no points and 1 rebound just unacceptable. Uconns guards had lots of rebounds which is just uncalled 4. Uconn is decent but not that great.

That's one thing I don't think Brey does well....manage the bench.

We weren't shooting the threes and Biedschied was no where to be seen, at least in the second half. I was puzzled.

My biggest beef with Brey is running the burn too early. He has done A LOT for the program though!

On a side note, seeing how every other game is on BEN I was going to order it for the next couple months and DISH doesn't even carry it. BLAH...

Doing a lot for the program doesn't mean crap of course Grad Rates are going to be high these aren't dumb kids. It comes to the point when you got to start wining in the post season and it just seems more and more not likely it will happen.

I'll agree. There's no reason they shouldn't make the sweet 16 this year. I guess we'll see.

Running the burn cost us the St. Joe's game. My kids figured out how to play the games from the computer on the big screen. Lots of games on espn3.com and und.com.
