ND... In game chatter

[chren21]

Crowder is a stud. His confidence is going up by the minute

[Hards Alumni]

Check that, better than Pitt from 3.  ND looks totally demoralized.

[MUEng92]

Seriously, this is the 11th best team in the country?

[NickelDimer]

When DJO hit that three to make it 13 this piece was curtains!

[GGGG]

Hand it to the defense.  ND didn't get the looks they did in the first half.  Incredible effort.

[smrunner99]

whispers that Buzz has lost this team can still be heard

[smrunner99]

that was meant to be in teal.

[MUEng92]

He had at least one foot above FT line when foul was committed.  I think LeBron might travel covering that much ground

[chapman]

I think it should be yesmorebuycks.

[Markusquette]

Buycks has been good all year.  Player of the game for Dwight.  Props to Jae, Jimmy, DJO and the rest of the guys for their defense.

[Steve Buscemi]

Student section not so good. Upper deck of student sect about 1/4 full

Maybe students aren't back?

Sounded loud on t.v.... and they never filmed the upperdeck.

Late arriving crowd. Students on break. Ended up being about 2/3 full up there

[wojosdojo]

Also off one more week

[pbiflyer]

ND is going to start making those shots sooner or later

No, no they're not.  (btw, my hindsite is 20/20).

[Henry Sugar]

Hand it to the defense.  ND didn't get the looks they did in the first half.  Incredible effort.

We had a DVR hiccup tonight (it is recording the 10 pm game), so we didn't start watching until MU was already up by 13.

Was the defense really better, or was it a matter of ND missing open looks?  Or open looks in the 1H and better D in the 2H?

Option #3

[AZWarrior]

I have never understood how, even when I was at MU, this was the norm. Somehow we always managed to play ND at home when the students are/were still out but it NEVER seemed to happen that way when we are at ND.....this has happened more times than I can remember.....

Many times when I was there the game was conveniently on the Saturday before a Mon-Tues registration and most OOS students like me weren't coming back until Sunday.....

Yeah - Same here.  I recall coming back "early" so I could go to the Notre-Who? game.  then spending a lonely Sunday in the dorm.

[tower912]

You needed to work harder if you were lonely.   A near empty dorm was an opportunity for awesomeness, not a reason to complain.   And I remember coming back from winter break early just to watch David Rivers stick it to us.    There was still much drinking that night.

Not tonight.  They had plenty of wide open looks they didn't hit.  I'm sure when we go play in South Bend it will be a very tough game.  They did manage to beat UW-madison
