So I had the privilege of sitting court side at the ND game tonight, a few notes:
-They slow down the game. The guards do a good job at passing the ball around and working it into the middle. Harangody is going to be a major task we are going to have to deal with this year. He is thinner this year, but still a force.
-Notre Dame does have the ability to run the court, but they do get tired. When Youngstown State was pushing the pace near the end of the game and staging a comeback, Notre Dame was struggling to keep up and made several stupid errors. Youngstown State was able to close the deficit from 26 to 12.
-Notre Dame loves to do plays that involve double picks. A point guard runs the base line and swings up to the top of the arc losing his man in a series of picks. The guard can decided to shoot the three or pass it off to a big man who rolled off the pick he just set.
It is going to be important for us to watch their big men. If we let them go after us down low, we are going to have some major issues.
But I am still confident we will win. Go Warriors!
