Comments on: Notre Dame 76, Rutgers 69 https://dev.ndnation.com/notre-dame-76-rutgers-69/ The Independent Voice of Notre Dame Athletics Tue, 08 Feb 2011 03:01:22 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Scranton Dave https://dev.ndnation.com/notre-dame-76-rutgers-69/#comment-3659 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 03:01:22 +0000 https://dev.ndnation.com/?p=1695#comment-3659 I have to correct you CJW. They have never been in the Big East Championship game. They have been to the semifinals 3 times and lost close in all 3. 2002 vs UConn, 2007 vs GTown and last year vs West Virginia. All 3 were high quality games, but I too have been waiting for the Irish to play on Saturday night at the Garden. Lets hope its this year! Go Irish!

Before even thinking about the Big Dance they need to take care of business and win the games they are supposed to like they have been doing. Right now Lunardi has them as a 2 seed and if they get a 2, they can maybe win 2 or 3 games and then see where we stand from there.

Depaul just about upset Lville and we wiped the floor with them a few days ago.

This is a tough conference and this team seems to understand that all wins and losses count the same.

ND has a great front running team this year. They know how to manage tempo, get stops, and make clutch shots and free throws. That sounds like a tourney reasy team to me.

I don’t know how we will fair in the big dance, but I really like our chances of winning the BE championship this year. As a fan it would really mean a lot to me to see them win that as they have been close a few times under Brey and lost in the championship game.

This is just a really good team and a lot of fun to watch. Thanks MB and all the players as I am greatly enjoying this season. It is a special group that is very unselfish, disciplined, high BB IQ and you can see their respect and love for the game. It is a joy to watch and I don’t get the fealing that this team will let us down or underperform. I don’t know if they can win it all, because they will have to play several teams that are deeper and more talented to win it all so odds against it, but if they get a high seed they could go very far.

Not the Irish best effort, but its almost never easy in the dog days of conference play. Huge game Wednesday night at Purcell against Louisville for conference positioning.
