Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. West Virginia Mountaineers - February 19, 2011 - Preview - NCAA Basketball - Sporting News

... The same cannot be said for the Mountaineers, who have lost three of four and face a brutal upcoming schedule with matchups versus Pittsburgh, No. 13 Connecticut and 16th-ranked Louisville.

"We've played OK, we just haven't shot the ball very well," said Huggins, whose team made 36.2 percent of its attempts in Monday's 63-52 loss at No. 17 Syracuse after falling out of the Top 25 earlier in the day.

ND +4

I won't dare watch it. ND BB does better when I don't watch. I think I watched every loss last season.

I might do something silly like watch a cooking show with ND-WV gametracker on the comp.

lol.....Same thing happened to me last year, but it has been the complete opposite for me this year. I've watched all 21 wins, but none of the losses.

As long as we stay in the 35%< range from beyond the arc we should be good.

 

[IrishLax]

Cannot believe ND is that much of a dog to WVU. Take the moneyline on ND.

 

[jakerbluegold]

Looking forward to a possible win in the tourney this year. They keep ruining my brackets

Tim Prister, Irish Illustrated

KEY TO NOTRE DAME VICTORY The Irish must keep the Mountaineers off the offensive boards. In 25 games, West Virginia has grabbed 365 offensive rebounds (14.6 per game). In the same amount of games, the Irish have 275 offensive rebounds (11.0 per game).

... "We have a clip that we are going to show the team where somebody in the corner misses a jumper and there are four guys pushing their guys under the bucket and battling for a rebound, and basically my theme is going to be that's what the game will come down to."

... The Irish are due for a slip-up, and West Virginia needs a victory

[NeuteredDoomer]

I peaked at the game. ND was down 2 with 7 min. left in the half. Then Abro missed a free throw. I went for a walk. I will wait for the final score. (I guess ND is up 2 now, but I'm going to watch my cooking shows...)

Notre dame doesn't look like they want it at all.

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

St. John's just took down Pitt. So now this 2nd half is huge.

 

[johnnykillz]

And we're getting worked right now, down by 10...

 

[DomeX2 eNVy]

Uggh, what a crappy start to the half. The refs are calling it loose and WV is taking advantage.

 

[RallySonsOfND]

Come on irish!!

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Worst officiating I've seen in a long time. Both ways.

 

[JadeBrecks]

Watching this game im loosing my need for football. I have all the beating and hitting right here. What happened to real basketball. :-(

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Pitt lost. Crazy game, crazy league.

DePaul took Nova to OT.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

I think Mike Brey is my favorite college coach.

Maybe UCONN can snake him when Calhoun retires/dies....

Big East

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Not saying anything earth shattering here, but Hansbrough needs to attempt put the team on his back...He can definitely do it.

They need to cut this to 8 with like 5 to play.

 

[MacIrish75]

At least Mike Brey showed some emotion. I thought we were about to see the jacket come off there for a second.

WVU can do no wrong offensively. Both teams are playing against the offiicials. They're hitting shots. We aren't.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Right on que, thanks ben.
