For anyone there, how was attendance? Hopefully better than 2013?

Really bad shooting. Not a single made 3 in the first half. Can't win like that.

Great win. Nails from the line. Couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a snow-shovel from three point line.

I was at the game. Brought two of my good friends who are big time UNC fans. I'm now celebrating at South Bend Brothers. They are drowning their sorrows.

Go Irish.

Night and day for our offense between the first and the second half. I was on the court so I couldn't quite hear Brey's post-game presser on the loud speaker, but I think he said "I didn't recognize that offense in the first half." Thank God we were a totally new offense in the second half. Cutting, rolling, moving, rotating. Beautiful. 50 points. Great win.

I believe basketball is what people do when they can't play football.

That said, there are a lot of UNC fans that are going to have a long day Monday. Love gettin' 'em riled up! :) :)

We are gonna be trash next year without Auguste and possibly Jackson. Geben is just a big body and Farrell cant play PG in the ACC. Hopefully Burns steps up and we can add a solid grad transfer at PG

Yeah NIT next year for sure. Hope we can make a decent run this year, a lot of it will depend on seed/matchup

he's not good enough IMO to start right away. Hoping he is ready his sophomore year. He's not a D-Jax level player
I could argue that Temple will be more ready than what DJ was his frosh year.

DJ had problems running the offense like Atkins, major issues adjusting with height, and forced way too many drives and passes.

Temple is a much more traditional pg than dj, who has that Russell Westbrook type of explosive lead.

Also, Temple is a hell of a player. So I wouldn't put him below DJ when he entered anyway.

You could be right. Sterling and Ashton were both tremendous college players so I expect the same for Temple. Unless you have a 5 star recruit, I really dont want a freshman starting at PG, especially if we are trying to make the tournament. I'd prefer a grad transfer for 2016-17 if possible

Auguste had a great first half and Bonzie and DJ had great second half, but VJ Beachum played really well tonight on both sides of the ball and was the difference in this game. Hit some big shots to bring us back and had a few big blocks at key times during the game. Was a really fun game to watch and I'm so glad the Irish came out on top. This was a big win and will really help boost our resume. Could very well be the difference between getting in and not.

I'll agree VJ came up big in the 2nd half, but wasn't much of a factor in the first half.
