LOL at that missed dunk by Broghammer..... that will FOR SURE be on ESPN Not Top 10.

A bad win?

ND hit 47% from the floor
50% from the arc
Outscored Prov by 9 pts from the line
39 rebs (+6)
9 turnover ( below their average)


The game was won, Friars hit 3 straight 3, ND missed two jams with the bench cleared.

A Bad win, only if you had money on the game.

 

[IrishLax]

I think he means the end of the game wasn't pretty (which it wasn't). Serious lack of poise by some players.

But a really strong second half performance overall for sure.

 

[BGIF]

LOL at that missed dunk by Broghammer..... that will FOR SURE be on ESPN Not Top 10.

The court was a half step longer than he remembered as his legs turned to rubber.

Up by 25 and win by less then 10. Defense which has been a strong past of this team was gone the whole time the starters were out. Which is Not good.
