Villanova-ND

[Coleman]

6 pm central time tonight. This game has enormous implications as far as us securing the double-bye. Notre Dame is desperate for a signature win...#16 Villanova would certainly be that. They are playing at the once-impossible-for-an-opposing-team-to-win-at Joyce Center. Anyone with me in thinking ND has a good shot at pulling this one off?

I can't believe I will be rooting for the Domers again!   

[dwaderoy2004]

i guarantee a notre dame victory.

I know, twice in one year. That is more than I have cheered for them in my entire 46 years. Arrrggghhhhh!

[HoopsMalone]

Nova is gonna be pretty quick compared to ND on the perimeter.  Hopefully McAlarney can get some space without having a defender the caliber of Acker on him! 


30 and 15 for Gody

[Nukem2]

Nova is in a bit of a funk right now.  The game is at ND and the Domers are on an uptick (even with the close loss @ UCONN ).  Ayers and Nash have been playing well and Harangody is a tough match for Nova.  I'll go with ND by 4......

[AlumKCof93]

If ND wins, does that clinch a double bye for MU?

[Coleman]

If ND wins, does that clinch a double bye for MU?

Not quite. We would still have to beat Syracuse or Pitt........ or Nova would have to lose to Providence in their last game. Right now our magic number is 2.

If ND wins....I'm wearing a mock turtle neck in honor of Coach Brey!

[HomeCourtAdvantage]

i guarantee a notre dame victory.

I'll be rooting for ND tonight.

Never thought I'd say this but...




Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send the volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky,
What though the odds be great or small
Old Notre Dame will win over (Nova),
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to Victory.

<scary song that should never have appeared here>

You can cheer for them, but you didn't have to go that far.

[Niv Berkowitz]

If ND wins tonight, how does MU not clinch the #4? MU is two games up with two to go and owns the tie-breaker?

[Litehouse]

Didn't Nova beat Pitt?  I think that gives them the tie-breaker at this point, unless we beat Pitt also.

correct

I forgot how much I hate Bill Raftery...and you can't avoid him either..one night he's doing CBS, the next night he's on ESPN.

Wow, really? I love Raftery.

Disagree wholeheartedly.  I wish Raf, McDonough and Bilas would call every game.  Those three and Gus Johnson are the best, IMO.

[Coleman]

I love Bilas. I will go out on a limb and say he is the best in the business.

I just hate when Raftery gets all excited and says things really fast and loud and you can't understand a damn thing he is saying.

[Daniel]

God, I love those ND guys - Harongody, McAlarney and the rest of the crew.  Just love 'em.   Hope they win tonight.  That last part is the absolute truth.  I got a Jesuit dispensation to root for them tonight.

[MUeng]

boy gus johnson and jay bilas would be a heck of a team

[Coleman]

I bet that cost you a case of PBR....

[MU B2002]

ANybody catch the man size block Ayers had on Reynolds?  IF this was the And 1 tour they would still be pulling spectators off the court.

I went to Notre Dame Academy for high school. I know all the words to this song. Haven't sung it in seven years.
