THIS team was down by 17 points early on, THIS team should've lost the game by double digits, THIS team only lost by 3.

I noticed that ND drove more towards the bucket yesterday- why haven't they done this all year?

Vs. Louisville late in the game Shrews had Haralson by the bench and Haralson had his arm around Shrews. Yesterday when Haralson fouled out Shrews and Haralson hugged.

The fight for this team is too little and too late, but to all the armchair point guards- if the players are still going to buy in, Shrews needs to stay 1 more year.

The best part of yesterday was getting autographs from DJ McKinney, Jayden Sanders, Quincy Porter, Rodney Dunham & Ebenezer Ewetade

Had me some wrist surgery a couple hours ago. Have nothing else to watch but this dumpster fire @ 7.

Shrews may have me taking an extra oxy by halftime but I hope we can get a W for the sake of the program.

A couple of times with the other hand and you’ll be a pro. At least that’s what Granger told me.

Very funny I see this all over CBB, Big East Twitter and not a murmur on ND Twitter

Would be hilarious if the Vatican is dropping an NIL package to the two teams.

ND may need it to keep the players worth a darn, next year.

Incredible - really should be playing BC in football there the same weekend. Hopefully this paves the way for that soon.

I don’t see how the Pope doesn’t come considering they chose a small arena. Seems purposeful for security.

Why would we want to do this next year when it is obvious we'll lose by 30?

Deserves its own thread really. Monumental moment for not just the University, but for US / Church history, assuming Pope Leo attends.

So what’s to gonna take to get this coach canned. Willingham got canned after three years so why not this guy? I will say this guy gets a lot more fired up than Ty ever did. Better recruiter too but probably not as good a golfer. We need a Charlie Weiss to get us turned around!

Historically, recruiting has been a big factor. A bad coach can many times gain some extra leash if he’s still recruiting well.

IIRC Willingham’s recruiting fell off a cliff that final year.

This year’s Freshman class was excellent and possibly gives Shrews some extra time. Just depends on if ND thinks there is signs of development.

In todays climate, need to put as much effort into retaining as you do recruiting.

Whatever NIL they’re wasting on basketball, that’s NIL that isn’t getting used for football.
