I really like this team, and I'm really saying that because I watch lots last year, not so much this year, but same guys. Auguste, Jackson, Colston, and Vestura - just love how they play and their personality. Vestura make the team so much better even though he'll never make sportscenter highlights.

I could also watch Ryan shoot all day. But he doesn't fit the profile yet of the guys I mentioned above. At least not to me. Not saying anything bad about him, but I'll especially miss the guys above when they move on.

Bonzie Colson is the new Everrest Gholston.

Slightly impressed you didn't call Steve VAsturia, Sven Ventura but the bar was low to begin with.

Butchering two names in a single post should be a bannable offense, good gravy, Koon.

I was one letter off in each name, named like 6 guys, and prefaced with 'I don't watch this year'. I thought I did pretty good.

But you said so yourself, it's many of the same guys from last year. And I hope to god you can't manage to screw up names like Jackson and Ryan. haha

I'm not sure I ever really learned how to read, I just got really good at memorizing words.

Vasturia*

If you are going to correct someone's spelling at least do it correctly.

He spells it with an asterisk?

IrishLion · Mar 10, 2016

Vasturia is the silent killer of the ND team.

He slowly steals your life from you with a play here, a bucket there... and you don't even know it's happening.

I love it.

Can't wait for the excuses to fly on ESPN for Coach K and Duke. Somehow they will make it more about him and Duke than the fact that ND made an awesome comeback for the victory. Congrats Irish. Well done.

Right on que. This is espn's headline for the game

Notre Dame tops exhausted Duke 84-79 in OT in ACC tourney.

ESPN is such a joke. How about ND tops Duke with 16pt comeback.

Brey is the best. Compare:

Notre Dame: Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2015 Rosters

with

Duke: Duke Blue Devils 2015 Rosters

They are young but this Is what a program should be and dominate as usual. Seems He's losing the touch after the social media hit.

I understand bud, Burgetter is the only SR on the team which makes this an even better win..

Yep. A couple of weeks ago they ran the headline that a "depleted" Duke team with only six players seeing action loses. I guess the four players on the Duke bench that didn't play in the game doesn't count. ESPN loves them some Coach K and Duke.

Coach K is the greatest college and Olympic coach in my life time. He deserves all the love he gets, even the love when he doesn't deserve it.

Didn't say anything about respect or deserving it - although there is plenty of discussion that could be had about Coach K getting passes on some things. But the ESPN love fest isn't called for either. Especially when the other team gets slighted in the reporting of the game.

Auguste was a man today. Strong tourney last year and today 19pts, 22 boards. He appears to like the bright lights.

There was significantly less salt in my pepper, that's for sure.

It is what it is. If it was vice-versa though....yeah "Short-handed Duke rallies late against Irish." Caption should have been "Coach K gets "Brey's B**** tattoo on lower back"

11th grade we won the 'mural title. Rallied from 20 down in last ten minutes of the title game.

Off topic but I'm actually a boss with the Wizards on 2k15. John Wall baby...makes people forget Curry even exists.

You spelled his name, Vestura. It's Vasturia...Definitely two letters off.
