That's actually their first OT loss of the season

I don't want to get rid of Brey, but ppl were throwing around names a couple weeks ago.

Bruce Pearl?

Rebounds 21-38 * 5-22

Incredibly rough to watch in person. Bigs didn't even give much effort to rebound at all, especially Sherman. I laughed when, for what seemed like the first time this season, Sherman went up for a rebound with aggression with about 30 seconds to play in OT. We're top 5 in the ACC in scoring but that doesn't matter when you can't rebound at all.

On the bright side I love Vasturia and really like Beachem. Vasturia hussled to rebound today and was so clutch in OT. This game has to give them a lot of confidence going into next year.

 

[Ignats]

Last regular season game. No Beachem yet, a lot of turnovers and a lot of Tom Knight looking lost. If this year is gonna suck at least play your young guys more Brey, come on.

Let's do this Irish!

 

[clashmore_mike]

couple bad offensive plays from Atkins when they really didn't need it.

 

[clashmore_mike]

huge put back and 1 for Connaughton.

 

[clashmore_mike]

unreal

 

[Ignats]

I can't believe Brey. Every damn game he has no timeouts left when his team actually needs it. First losing season since 98-99.

 

[clashmore_mike]

great comeback falls short, EA had a lay up blocked that would have tied it. I think Brey really out coached Ole Roy the second half with his changing defenses. Would have been nice to have a time out or two left for the last minute.

Sucks. Wish Atkins just pulled up and jacked a 3.

Just one of those years. I feel for Atkins not making the tourney his senior year.

They could always string together an absolutely amazing ACC tourney run and make it. Then again that is probably just wishful thinking. A huge wish.

CBI looking likely? Need a couple of tourney wins ( possible) to even be considered for the NIT with a .500 record

i'm an eternal optimist, but big difference between us and duke/nc/uva/cuse this year unfortunately

 

[clashmore_mike]

5 games in 5 days with as thin as this team is basically impossible. Atkins wouldn't be able to walk until the sweet 16 started with all the minutes he'd play.

They beat Duke, had close games with 'Cuse and UNC, were blown out by UVA both times.

They could string together something of epic proportions.

Then again I know I am really grasping at straws right now, but hey that's all I have left. Hope.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Tough loss.

 

[anarin]

You know... They would be ALOT better if they would rebound the ball. Auguste has to be the softest big I've seen at ND in a long time.

If Brey doesn't stress boxing out next season, it will be a long one.

 

[Ignats]

Softest big since Sherman you mean? Sherman is softer, I don't think I remember the guy ever dunking and he comes down with a two handed rebound maybe once a game if he's lucky.

 

[irishfan]

I'll post the bracket when its available on Saturday night, but it looks like were in the 12/13 game in the ACC tourney (seed to be determined), where we will play Georgia Tech. That game would be Wednesday at 1 pm. If we win, we would play the #5 seed on Thursday who will be either Pitt or Clemson depending on who wins their game on Saturday. I guess not a bad draw all things considered? Wouldn't be completely shocking if we could steal 2 games.

 

[anarin]

Improbable tourney run?

5 in 5 days lol....I'd be thrilled w 2 wins.

 

[MPClinton22]

ND men's and women's teams will be wearing new jerseys for the postseason again. Well, "postseason" is a little generous for the men this year...

Either way, much better than last year's abominations.

 

[ACamp1900]

I'm telling you, at some point they will rock a black J like that for the Shamrock Series...

Hope so!

 

[irishfan]

Alright, so ND is the 13 seed, playing 12 seed Wake on Wednesday at 1 pm. It's the first game of the tourney. I believe that we would then play Pitt/Clemson in round 2. We play whoever wins their game today and becomes the 5 seed (Clemson up 2 w 2 mins left). Ill post bracket when it is final.

Atkins made 3rd team All-ACC
