Great points, Tower. We went 1-7 against ND while I was at MU so this is very sweet.BTW…I had two years in Tower 911.
Celebrating with a beer…and NO, Joe Montana, it’s not a Guinness!
Anyone know if that was our biggest win at the Joyce? I can only find data going back to the 90s.
Not sure if we ever beat ND in my tenure 1987-1991? At least it sure didn't feel like it.
In that building? Yes. Our biggest margin in South Bend? No. We beat ND 47-22 on February 18, 1939. That would stand as our largest margin in the series until the 92-66 win in 2008, though that was in Milwaukee.https://wiki.muscoop.com/doku.php/men_s_basketball/notre_dame
So we are 12-9 vs the Irish over the last 30 years; not bad for a team that seems to have our number.
I did not love in Tower but beating ND is always sweet!Not sure if we ever beat ND in my tenure 1987-1991? At least it sure didn't feel like it.
For those who were at the game did Jop really commit a flagrant 2? Even the announcers mentioned from their vantage point they could not tell and I don't recall seeing any replays. Is that call kind of automatic where the refs have no leeway whether it is intentional or not?
Very impressed with the team's response after Jop was sent packing. Speaks highly of both our coaching and on-court leadership.
LOL I laugh about Justin takes. It is like Shaka wouldn't know and Bulls don't know what they're doing. I guess we would always be better without our best player next year....
I think people are misunderstanding what I meant. By saying "we don't miss Justin Lewis," I wasn't really saying that we are better without him than we would be with him. I really don't know if we are or aren't. I was simply meaning that we are pretty darn good even without him, and may end up more accomplished by season's end.Just like the 2012-13 team was without Jae and DJO, yet won the conference regular season and got to the Elite 8.
The one thing that jumped out to me in the Lewis discussion is that the HC made little effort, or so it seemed, to find a replacement for the Lewis role. No doubt, to replace Lewis with one portal guy was not an easy ask, but just maybe, the HC coach felt filling that role with multiple players was the best path to take going into the season. If Lewis had returned, I question if we would have seen the improvement of a slew of guys, especially in a real game.
The TV replay showed that it was not intentional, should not have been a 2, a 1 yes.
Agreed. Would Justin be an asset to this team? Absolutely. But I do think players like Kam, O-Max, and Oso likely wouldn't be having the performances they've been having if JL was still here.We lost a great player in Justin but still got better as a team, which has been my contention all along.
