Nice needed win for ND. Carey Booth had a nice game and Marcus Burton doesn't play like a freshman.

That makes one more ACC win than I expected this year. I'm OK with inconsistent and streaky if it means some wins like this. Virginia was pretty much kryptonite for Brey.

Nice to see this stellar play sustained for more than just a game. Hopefully it continues into the second half here against NC State

NCSU has made a run the last four, but we haven’t wilted. Burton and JR with some big shots. Defense is going to need to get a few stops. As I type this JR picks up a cheap foul. Two point game with 1:15 left.

I have watched most of this game and that’s the most I have been able to watch all year. But this team plays very sloppy.

This team is worse than I thought they could be. They still have a lot of growing to do.

Burton seems to stumble a lot. It’s weird I have never seen someone be like that.

I thought we would see guys eager to try and win and play hard. They very bad shots, they aren’t aware what’s going on around on the court.

And I said from the beginning that this team was going to be bad. Bad teams lose games like they did tonight. And I still think he will be a good coach here.

I don’t think effort was the reason we lost tonight. So saying they’re not “eager to try and win and play hard” makes absolutely no sense. Watch more than “most of this game” and you’d know they’ve improved tremendously from the first game.

It’s a frustrating loss bc they’re competing against pretty good teams. We’ve come a ways since getting our shit rocked by The Citadel.

As long as they are improving and working hard, there's not much more to expect this year.

Immense defensive effort against Duke thus far. Njie has been very good even if it doesn’t always show on the stat sheet

He’s been struggling but I dont think I ever seen a player get fouled more than him and not get a call.

Honestly they’re competitive as hell. We really weren’t for the last year or two. These kids battle.

Yeah they are hanging in there with some strong teams now. Encouraging. I do think Duke is a little off from where they should be and we rely too much on Burton. Another scorer needs to step up not sure if he's on the roster.

This game was winnable, but this team isn't there yet.

At times Burton tries to do too much, but this team looks for him on every possession.

They played great defense vs. #30, but left #25 open the whole game.

They were aggressive in the paint and hopefully they continue this.

The crowds at men's games vs. women's games are different. This program is in good hands with coach Shrews.

Love the hustle and energy. Young, raw, and frankly a little lost - but busting their butts anyway and learning.

I'll take it.

IMO they’re ahead of schedule.

I’d love to see Shrews aggressive in the portal again this offseason.

If my math is correct we will have one scholarship available for next year. So could portal one guy. Correct me if I’m wrong.

Yeah the average age of the crowds at ND woman’s games is around 70.

What is the deal with retirees and women’s basketball ?

No that’s right. And we need more than one guy in the portal but no one is out of eligibility so someone besides Zona and Sanders have to leave

Are tix to the ladies games cheaper than men’s? If so, fixed income?

Giving Wade a scholarship was a major mistake
