WBB: wheels coming off

Completely agree. Playoff basketball baby.

Game gets tighter, more physical, refs lay off the whistle a tad bit more. Scoring in transition becomes tougher for sure .

You will love this:
When you mention the importance of cutting and timing I literal had instant flashbacks of the best ND basketball team of my lifetime. ( I'm 30 )

Pat C, Jerian G, August, Bonzie, the silent assassin Vasturia, demetrius..

I remember them being unbelievable at moving without the ball.

Still think they could of won the national championship if they didn't let kentucky escape at the end in the elite 8. They would of faced Wisconsin in final 4, then Duke, whom the irish already beat in ACC tourney.
Pretty traumatic. Haven't sniffed elite 8 since.
That last second loss to Kentucky is one of the most memorable of ND men’s basketball. We’ve had some great games, especially against UCLA when they dominated college basketball. One the best half court teams I’ve ever watched was the 65 Princeton team with Bill Bradley. Constant motion and great passing, and numerous back door cuts to the basket. Pete Carroll was their legendary coach. That game doesn’t exist in today’s game, but the principles they mastered still apply, especially in playoff basketball as you described.

Basketball MBB: Game Thread | Notre Dame 55, Pitt 54 (Final in ACC Tournament First Round)

Notre Dame men's basketball hasn't had a three-game winning streak since December.

If the Irish (14-17, 8-12 ACC) want to extend their 2024-25 season, they'll need to reach a three-game winning streak with a victory over Pittsburgh (17-14, 8-12) today in the first round of the ACC Tournament at Charlotte, N.C.

Notre Dame is coming off back-to-back home victories over Stanford and California to end the regular season. Fatigue could play against ND following a four-overtime victory over Cal on Saturday.

Notre Dame beat Pittsburgh in Purcell Pavilion on Feb. 22 by four points, 76-72. The Irish were led by 21 points from forward Tae Davis and 20 points from guard Markus Burton. Notre Dame also needed a career-high 12 points from Cole Certa to pull out the victory.

Pittsburgh is led by a pair of 16-point scorers. Sophomore guard Jaland Lowe (6-foot-3) is averaging 16.8 points, 5.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. Senior guard Ishmael Leggett (6-3) is averaging 16.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Notre Dame limited Lowe to 13 points in February. Leggett scored 21 points, but each of them committed three turnovers. The Irish struggled to defend 6-10 junior forward Cameron Corhen, who scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Corhen is averaging 11.0 points and 5.3 rebounds this season.

Best Run in ND History?

I can reassure you that there is no recency bias in dubbing this run the greatest. When you consider how big the moment, his injury, the quality of defense….

This was the run of the century
That was indeed an awesome run. Epic run. And it's cool too, a two yard run being an all-time greatest play, must have been a very important, very hard-fought, hard-earned two yards.
