that Notre Dame has played only one game on the road all season, and that was a loss to Georgia Tech? I'm not saying this is going to be easy, but I think the chances of ND blowing us out are remote. I know we have to be better than we have the past two games, but I think we'll win.

Incorrect. Technically they have played zero road games. They lost to GT and Baylor during the early season tournament in the Virgin Islands so neutral court, and they also played a neutral site game at MSG against K State so probably that was adv. ND. This is their first true road game

As much as I hate ND, after looking at their schedule, I'm getting more and more worried about Saturday. Hopefully Burke plays like he did against Wisconsin and then we'll be fine. Otherwise, I'd hate to see my guy Blackledge having to D Harrangody up

Why did looking at their schedule worry you? The numbers are not good and they didn't have any true competition during the non-conference (GTech is awful and Baylor is a notch below ND). Playing on the road cannot be discounted especially for guys like Ayers and Jackson who have limited experience in this regard.

The biggest thing was the game against Baylor. They lost by 4 but Baylor is 12-2 and played Wazzu on the road within 4 or 6 points. Thats a legit team. Not to mention the wins over UConn and WVU
The Youngstown and Eastern Michigan games were encouraging though
