The blackout starts at like 1:10.

sounds like the strategy against ND is to let Harangody get his numbers and force the rest of the team to beat you Maybe. It's not like teams don't try to stop Luke. He just always has a way to kill you. No one else on the team can beat you in more than one way. Which is probably the problem. One of my friend's Facebook statuses made me laugh: "would like to see ND beat a quality opponent in a sport besides women's soccer and hockey before he dies." At least we've got the other Hansbrough and Scott Martin next year.

Harangody 24 and 15. Jackson and McAlarney both had nine but combined to shoot 6/24. KMac missed his last twelve shots. It's the same old story. Poor Harangody plays his ass off every night, well outperformed Hasheem Thabeet (9 and 11), and the rest of his team takes a dump on the court and lights it on fire. Notre Dame's not only not a ranked team, they might not be a tournament team.
-
Keep an eye on ESPN, because you'll get to see not only Erin Andrews but probably the end of ND's 45-game homecourt win streak. UConn's going to be very tough to beat. I do hope that Harangody at least abuses that overrated ninny Thabeet. I, of course, will be covering the far superior West Noble-Carroll girls basketball game.
-
This makes me laugh. Why would Under Armour cut out of the deal?
-
Wow, WVU went into Georgetown and beat up the Hoyas pretty good. G-Town now 3-3 in conference. I don't think anyone in the Big East will have fewer than 4 league losses this year. Maybe Pitt or Syracuse, MAYBE.
-
I'll take my stupid team, I suppose.
-
I'm considering making the trip to the Joyce Center on Saturday for College Gameday, but I'm wondering how many people will be lined up to go in well before the 10 am door-opening.
-
No matter how good the Big Ten is, 12-6 ain't getting you a 4. ND was 14-4 last year in a very good Big East and got a 5. If they played well in the Big Ten tourney and played ok in all those four more losses, a 4 is a possibility, but even then I'd be very surprised.
-
Syracuse/Pitt is the latest game of the year in the Big East tonight. I'll be checking it out - I haven't seen much of either team yet.
-
I was just telling people that I hope Hendry's obsession with ex-Cardinals continues at least until Pujols becomes a free agent. -
Jeff Keppinger is not a good anything, let alone part of a winning team's 'heart of the lineup'.
-
I want the Cardinals to win.
-
That is a horse crap call!
-
Yeah, the refs blew that on the field. The ball didn't hit Abiamiri or the out of bounds line.
-
I officially have forgiven Carolina for last week's defense on Larry Fitzgerald.
-
Good. Keep declining to do that. Just once I'd love to see the Cubs do the smart thing and have Gregg close while Marmol stays in his more valuable role. Also glad Marshall will start. Hope Samardzija earns his way in there too.
-
We're so not going to be very good this year.
-
Alright, I'm thinking I have to go to the Indians series. Wood and DeRosa are two of my all-time favorites.
-
Notre Dame's had a rough go of it, lately. Is it just the competition, or are there some confidence/chemistry issues? Tennessee is in the same boat. Good competition AND chemistry issues are hurting right now. Well, that, and the fact that every team we face has someone go for a career high. It's the competition, and we miss Rob Kurz more than I thought we would. I underrated how important he was to the defense (he wasn't fantastic, but he was pretty darn good). And Mike Brey is playing a 6-man rotation, which an ND blog I read doesn't really blame him for because the next two guys (Ty Nash and Carleton Scott) are 4's and 3's respectively and probably wouldn't be giving Harangody or the guards time off anyway. This won't really cause me to panic until we lose a home game. If we keep winning at home and beat the crappy teams on the road, our stronger than usual non-conference schedule plus the Texas win should still sneak us into the tournament.
-
Louisville beat Pitt. Wake's the only unbeaten left.
-
Notre Dame just isn't very good. They shouldn't be ranked on Monday. You can't be called a good team when you're as unbelievably pathetic as they are on defense.
-
The Big East has yet to get more than 8 teams in the tournament, and the only year they've gotten that many, the eighth made the Sweet 16. Meanwhile, 24 was the smallest margin of victory for a 1 over a 16 in round 1.
-
This is fine with me, but a better idea is to cut the # of at-large bids to 33. I would much rather see a team like Villanova (last year) get in than some sacrificial 16th seed that's going to lose by 30 in the first round. They were possibly the last team in last year and got to the Sweet 16. Changing it so the play-in game is between bubble teams just means a team that was a 16 seed will now be a 15 seed. Plus it would be more difficult to determine the seed and how they would fit in the bracket with the rules they have in place. as I said, make two bubble teams play-in for a #12 or #11 seed. It's pretty crappy to tell two schools who earned their way into the tourney "sorry, we know you won, but really, you suck, so go play in Dayton" Too often, the bubble teams earned their way into the tourney far more than the play-in winners, normally middle of the road (at best) teams in their always-crappy conference that got hot for three days.

I'll miss at least part of the ND/Syracuse game tomorrow due to covering a morning basketball game that should've been tonight, but I'm pretty sure we're going to lose. It's a sobering thought that I already know ND won't go anywhere of consequence this season because Mike Brey essentially plays a 6-man rotation.
