Really hard to predict right now.
Question is who is available to play and how healthy are they, and will they be a deer in headlights?

We better get it together. BT starts Friday and on road at Iowa in 8 days.

Sounds like no Trent, Belo, Grandison and BBV again tonight. Oh boy.

We’re out of the Top 25. Probably a good thing after allowing 85 points to Ariana Grande U.

If Plummer wanted a bigger showcase for pro scouts I think he has stumbled into it. Hope he goes for 30 again. Kind of happy Belo's not forcing himself to play through if his back is that screwed up. B1G is more important than what we're doing now.

Desperately need Hawlins or a freshman to step up as a 3rd-5th option scorer in big games.

You are right.  Some guys need to step up.
Can't really count on huge games again from both Kofi and Plummer.

If Plummer scores less than 17 points I think Notre Dame wins.  Brey is good coach he will limit Kofi.  Not sure if the rest of the team can score enough to win. 

ND will have to have a terrible 3 pt shooting game to lose.  Something like 5-22 and IL squeaks by 63-58.  Defense; given how bad it was last game, has to be better tonight.

If ND hits more than 8 threes they will win

Good ball movement. Kofi passing. Hitting shots. Defense needs to adjust…Hawkins should help with that on the euro big in the 2nd after sitting with the two early fouls. Trent looks better than I expected.
Title: Re: But we DON'T want The Irish!

Ball’s moving. We’re getting it to open shooters. Feeding Kofi and the big man passing out of double and triples is good for the offense.

Agree on that long 2.  That's not his game, yet.  But, anything else reasonably close to the basket has a far better chance of going in than not.

Good win, fun game to watch other than a little let down about halfway thru the second. 

Hope Curbelo isn't lost at this point, hope it's a health issue that can be resolved, and want to see him on the floor again.
