2017-2018 Notre Dame Men's Basketball

[irishfan]

Well, UVA losing to Louisville is pretty brutal.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Lou up 10 over UVA late in 2nd.
GT up 3 over NCSt late in 2nd.

Well Lou won so it’s possible to beat UVA haha. Bad news is they rarely lose 2 games in a row

Thought I saw UVA by 1?

 

[Woneone]

Thought I saw UVA by 1?

Same here - I turned it off Virginia down 5 with like 15 seconds left. WTF happened?

 

[Irish YJ]

Yep Louisville choked. Down 4 UVA hits two FTs with 2secs to go ... then steals the ball and UVA hits a 3pter with 1 sec to go for a one point win....

GT edges NC St...

Both good losses from a bubble perspective.

 

[irishfan]

Holy shit I should not have turned that off with .9 left.

 

[Woneone]

Holy shit I should not have turned that off with .9 left.

Did I read they were up 4 with .9 seconds left and LOST?

That. Is. Epic.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Wowww that’s amazing

 

[NDGOLDEN]

That’s 2 big losses that went our way not only does losuiville lose but virgina stays at number 1 and would look a lot better win if we do on Saturday

They’re set up for a letdown after pulling that win out of their ass also.

They’re set up for a letdown after pulling that win out of their ass also.

You would think so, but it will be Senior Night, not sure how that will effect them mentally.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Exactly and they will probably be somewhat tired too

 

[irishfan]

You would think so, but it will be Senior Night, not sure how that will effect them mentally.

True. Still probably the best outcome for us tonight though. Last thing I’d want is an angry UVA or a team that breezed to a 20 point win.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Don't want to belabor the point, but lville had a ft/fga rate of over 0.3 if you exclude the late free throws, basically double what they normally give up.

 

[Irish YJ]

ASU up by 20 over CAL late in 2nd...

Oregon/WashSt tight late. An Oregon loss would be big for bubbles...

A Wash loss later tonight would also be good

They're assuming Xavier and Sparty win their tournaments? I can see both getting beat in their conference tournament.

 

[RDU Irish]

All ACC tournament scenarios for UNC, Duke and NC State | News & Observer

9 seed with win over UVA OR FSU loss. Yikes would that suck to lose AND get stuck in the UVA bracket.

 

[irishfan]

Couple huge B1G games today....really need Nebraska and PSU to lose.

 

[irishfan]

Michigan State and Wisconsin tied at 38 with 15:32 left in the B1G Quarterfinals. Wisconsin has been playing pretty well recently, last thing we need is them somehow winning the B1G and stealing a bid.

Also Loyola-Chicago down early. We need them to win their tourney or else there's a chance they could get an at-large bid.

MSU wins 63-60.

Nebraska/Michigan up next. We badly need Michigan to win.

Well Michigan looks comfortably in the lead up 50-35 with 11 mins left

 

[Irish YJ]

Along with needing PSU to lose, OK shitting the bed to ISU would be nice.

Okla is the most confusing team. They have the most top 10 wins this season and now they are in danger of not making touney

They are a head scratcher. I think they are like 4-8 in their last 12. They have a superstar but that's about it. I think early on, Young killed everyone. Teams figured them out by mid year.... Young is crazy good but his FG% is crazy up and down game to game. I don't know enough about OK, but I have watched them a couple times. When Young is on though, he's on. I think they handle ISU tonight by 20+ unfortunately.

Ya exactly when young is on they can win a lot of games. Ya ISU is not great so I agree they will probably win by a ton
