Basketball Game Day: Notre Dame vs. North Florida

[irishfan]

Tip-off at 2:00

North Florida went 8-22 last year, and this game should be similar to the exhibitions last week.

Tough to focus on ND basketball on a Saturday in the fall, but you can watch the game and hear it announced on UND.com

15:45 left in the 1st half. ND up 13-5. They look great, and the only missed shot they have is a Harangody 3. Hansbrough looks like a stud and has 5 points already and will be going to the line when they come back from the timeout.

11:10 left in the 1st. ND up 23-5. Hansbrough has 11 points and is 3-3 on threes after coming out of the game with a bloody finger nail. The next highest scorer has 3, so they'r spreading the wealth right now pretty well.

ND up 30-10 with 6:28 now. They've hit six 3s and are just dominating North Florida's zone.

ND won 86-65. Second half was sloppy, but impressive overall.

Harangody finished with 19 and 7
Hansbrough had 19 points as well
Tim Abromaitis had 13 and Peoples had 11.

Overall, ND shot 14-25 on 3s.

Great first win.

Thanks for the updates!

BTW, I don't care if you are not athletic enough to keep up with ND, if you go zone against them then you are begging to lose...

Agreed. Way too many shooters on this team. Everyone who plays with the exception of Nash is a threat to shoot the 3.

They looked good - more fast breaks than expected. I went to both exhibitions and it scared me. Hansbrough looked 5x better. Hitting 3s where he missed in 1st 2 games. Played some freshman - big guys. Gody was 2x and he made them pay by passing the ball out. His stats are misleading. He rested as the big freshmen got minutes. JP & Tory were sharp with their 3s and Tory doesn't force like he use to. Ben made some crisp great passes that resulted in slams. Abromaitis really impressed me - outside the arch andunder the basket. I'd be surpised if in the easy of mid games - Brey doesn't go 8 -9 deep as he did today. He's gonna save Luke for Big East play.
