ND Men's Basketball 2014-15 Season

[sportallyr]

Got it! DEFENSE TIME!!!!

 

[BeauBenken]

THE LEAD!

 

[Circa]

10 consecutive points by Grant! The kid just balls out!!

 

[clashmore_mike]

stop and a rebound plz

 

[Buster Bluth]

Well the ol' Vasturia in the corner trick didn't work.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Damn it

 

[sportallyr]

Damn. They made a bucket and Vasturia missed a shot to take the lead. They're at the line with 4 seconds left up 1

 

[clashmore_mike]

damn, wide open look

 

[Circa]

I want that ball in Grant's hands there

 

[clashmore_mike]

ugh

 

[JD Irish]

The defense was absolutely atrocious today. So frustrating.

 

[GoldenDomer]

Momma said there'd be days like this.


Gotta find a way to win when you don't have it, and we almost did.

 

[clashmore_mike]

The defense was absolutely atrocious today. So frustrating.

yup, not going to win many games when you allow the opponent to shoot almost 60% from the floor.

 

[dang227]

Unfortunately, fell right into the trap on the road against crap opponent after a big win. Defense and free throws really killed them today

 

[dad4aa]

Why would you wait for the ball and allow the defender to step in front of you? Go get the ball!!

 

[MNIrishman]

 

[GoldenDomer]

Nobody is saying that. 1/10

 

[clashmore_mike]

FIRE BREY

 

[Circa]

It's a Greek tragedy..

 

[returnofthemack]

Tough loss, but you can only get so far with good-sometimes-great offense and shitty defense.

Lol, figured the sarcasm was obvious. Though this was my first chance to watch a game this year, and so we regressed to history. It's my fault guys. I'm sorry.

We typically have a great offense. Today, it was only good.

 

[NDPhilly]

Vasturia has to make that

 

[IrishLax]

Meh, showed a lot of heart again at the end. You win some, you lose some. And we're winning more close games than we're losing. I never thought we were going to win the regular season crown, so most of these games are pretty meaningless considering that tournament seeding is sorta irrelevant past the 1 line.

 

[koonja]

This team's going to have more experience in close games than any in the tourney. Should pay off for at least 1 W.

This.

Our three losses have been an average of less than three points.

This, plus our quality, quality victories tell me that we will be able to hang with any team.

 

[irishfan]

I'd like to see us come out pissed and blow BC out on Wednesday. Not going to be happy with a sloppy win.

 

[DonnieNarco]

Really exciting game. ND has always struggled on the road while dominated at home. They weren't going to end the season with 2 wins. There are a lot more opportunities to get the ranking that high again.

 

[Rocknes Ghost]

Frustrating game to watch. Figured they would lose at least one more game that they shouldn't. There is something to be said for Brey's "loosest coach in America" coaching schpiel/style. It has produced some great offenses. But today is one of those game where you would wish he had a little more control. Team was really flat and it shows on D. That was an atrocious defensive performance. Offense was pretty good outside of that 3-4 minute stretch where we were forcing one on one.

We are just going to have games like this under Brey. I'm totally fine with that...as long as we get some wins this year in the tourney!

 

[Bubbles]

Significantly outworked all game....I honestly expected this after the Duke game....happens to every team, still stings though.
