Moved up to #20

Thought we'd be closer to #15....

Louisville #14 with a worse record :/

Definitely believe they deserve to be higher. If they make it through this 4 game stretch 2-2 they honestly should be a top 15 team.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Ya I think we easily should have been near 15. I still like being underrated. We always seem to play when we are not supposed to win.

The best part about college basketball is that polls don't matter. Your conference standing matters, your conference tournament matters, your seed matters, and your NCAA tournament results matter. Only one of those has any subjectivity in it at all.

But the week-to-week whims of the media and "coaches" don't count for anything. Makes watching games more enjoyable, IMO.

I've watched several Butler and Purdue games and think both are a little better at the moment. Actually thought Butler and Purdue might have been higher this week given their wins over Nova and Wisci. Being under the radar isn't all bad.

WTF with the kid drinking bleach?

WTF with the kid drinking bleach?

Wow I never noticed that. So weird. Even if you clean that thing out a million times I wouldn't dare drink anything out of it. Plus how are you allowed to bring that into the arena?

 

[zelezo vlk]

It's kinda how I feel after the football seasons of both ND and Bears. Good for the basketball team, but I'm still chugging bleach

This is a huge game. A win would just about guarantee we make the tournament barring an epic collapse. A loss wouldn't be that bad but could lead to a 3-4 game skid. Winning road games in conference against probable tournament teams is a great way to impress the committee.

It is a very big game. If we win today I think we win at VT then probably lose to FL ST. But I agree if we lose it could be a slid that wouldn't be good. We have played horrible at Miami the past couple years. Their not as experienced as they have been the past couple years.the rank below 300 I'm pts for so they don't score much but they have a good D. We have proven we can score on good D.

Line moved up to -4.5

They're not a tournament team

 

[NDgradstudent]

At 50-39 when we missed the easy layup you knew everything was going to fall apart. Sure enough, we were outscored 22-7 after that until the timeout just now.

Blowing big second-half leads can't become more common given the league we're in.

 

[Woneone]

3 minutes left. Down 4. 20 total team fouls in the game.

We will struggle to win games where refs allow physical play (like Reed knocking Rex back 3 feet and getting a bucket).

We are 5-19 from 3, and I don't know how many bunnies we've missed (at least 5 that I've watched).

If we win this, we stole one.

 

[NDgradstudent]

That's not true. It's not an easy league.

ND?? For real?

 

[NDgradstudent]

Btw LAX, nice shout-out to ND lacrosse from Dickie V earlier in the broadcast.

 

[IrishLax]

Fun game... really feel like we should be down a bunch given cold outside shooting and poor rebounding.

 

[IrishLax]

Vasturia and Farrell are cold blooded. Wow. Just need one more stop!

 

[NDgradstudent]

Do you foul here to keep them from shooting the 3? Is that something you're never supposed to do?

 

[ACamp1900]

Nice....

 

[NDPhilly]

Brey is such a great coach. Amazing how they have been able to close out games as of late.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Game. Blouses.

"Magical Mike" does it again

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Thats a really big win. Miami isn't great but to get a win on the road in conference is hard. 4-0 for first time in conference play wow

 

[Woneone]

Wow....

This year is going to be hell on my liver.
