The thread wasn't up yet, so I thought I would make one. Discuss...

 

[PADOMERNUT]

Come on Irish, we need something to cheer about

 

[irishfan1122]

Probable starting lineups:

#8 Notre Dame (2-0):

Zach Hillesland (F)
Luke Harangody (F)
Ryan Ayers (G)
Kyle McAlarney (G)
Tory Jackson (G)

Indiana (2-0)

Tom Pritchard (F)
Kyle Taber (F)
Verdell Jones III (G)
Nick Williams (G)
Devan Dumes (G)

I am a huge college basketball fan and I have never heard of anyone in Indiana's starting lineup

 

[irishfan1122]

Taber was on the team last year, he's a walk on. Pritchard is a load in the middle, similar style to Gody and Hansbrough. IU lacks depth, especially at the point position. They have another walk on, Finklemeyer, who played with McRoberts at Carmel in high school. Verdell Jones can score. All in all, they make a lot of mistakes, force up shots, and will probably play a box and one or matchup zone against Gody which will open up the outside shooting.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

bottom line is this game shouldnt be close. but for one reason or another we always seem to make it harder on ourselves than it should be

 

[irishfan1122]

I've watched each IU game, and to put it nicely, they aren't good.

ND 85
IU 63

i saw parts of their 3 point escape at home vs iupui, and i wasnt impressed

 

[PADOMERNUT]

it looks like the winner gets Texas, they are up 18 in the second half

Does anyone know if this game is going to be tv anywhere.

Sweet thanks NDOM.

 

[irishfan1122]

Texas is a very good club. St Joe's has been mediocre since Nelson and Delonte left.

 

[NDOM]

Sweet thanks NDOM.

No prob.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

Wow Indiana is starting 4 freshmen.

 

[NDOM]

Irish looking good so far.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

The Irish are looking very good. I would like to see Gody get some more looks in the paint.

Ugh, being a huge IU basketball fan this season is going to kill me. But if i had to pick a team IU to get beat by, i'd pick ND anytime. Hopefully ND can beat Texass and UNC in this thing.

 

[Rocket's Rocket Fan]

Good game to watch. It was nice to see KMac to knocking down shots. Nice win for the Irish. I can't wait to see how they play against Texas.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

Wait, was that a Notre Dame team that did what it is supposed to do? It dominated a team that had inferior talent. It put a team away when it had the chance.

Hmm, I hope Charlie, or the next ND Football coach, was watching

 

[PADOMERNUT]

Tomorrow will be a HUGE test, nothing like what we saw tonight. I cant wait. It will be a real measuring stick early in the season.
