Haven't seen his name mentioned in any of the previews of I've seen. Last article mentioning him was from 2/4/11 and had him doubtful.

Big game. Winning this game is huge because we will probably drop one of our next three on the road and one down the stretch and probably one in the BE tournament. 7 losses still gets us a likely #3 seed with our quality wins. 8 losses probably drops us to around a #5 seed.

You could argue that this is the game of the year. A win here shows we're serious about getting a #1 or #2 seed and that we still can win the Big East regular season championship. A loss and we're back to hoping for a Top 4 seed both in the Big East tourney and the NCAAs.

Pitino said they were going to beat ND after they beat DePaul on Saturday then backed off that stance when he was asked about it a few days later.

If ND wins, they're in great shape for a double bye in the Big East tournament.

How the heck is this game not televised....

This game hit the perfect storm of other games scheduled this evening.

-#21 UNC v #5 Duke (Unfortunately, they'd probably air this game over the ND game even if neither were ranked. ESPN has Duke-UNC bias)

-#11 Georgetown v #13 Syracuse

I'm visiting my gf this week and of course I have ESPNU at home and she doesn't have it here. I'm hoping to find another way to watch the game.

Great slate of college basketball games tonight though..

ND down 24-22 with 7ish left. Hansbrough playing with 2 fouls. He still has 11 and Abro has 8. Both teams shooting well.

I realize you gotta feed the ball to the hot guy, but Hansbrough cant be the only one to score if they are going to make a run in the tournament.

Game is on ESPNU. Notre Dame has not defended well in the paint. Have to stop dribble drive penetration against Louisville's quick guards.

Cooley has been solid off the bench. He's got 10 in the first half

Wow Cooley 10 points on 5-5 shooting. Pulling his inner-Gody.
