irish vs duke game thread

[coolirish9]

should be a great game tonight with two teams that can make shots from anywhere. wouldn't be surprised at all if we have around 20 or more made 3s between both teams in this game. a 9 pm start on espn. don't know about anybody else but i'm thinking a possible 4 seed if our irish win

 

[Bodizephax]

Should be another easy victory for the Irish.

Matt Ryan came up big against FSU. The NCAA tourney games are what matter most to me. Teams that have to play 3 or 4 games back to back arent able to give their top performance. It would be nice to win another ACC tournament but hopefully our best games will be next week.

ND needs to out rebound Duke or they have no chance.

 

[Irishjohn68]

Duke 80
Notre Dame 85

Go Irish!

 

[coolirish9]

one of the guys doing the game said on espn gameday just minutes ago that he thinks our irish have to score 85 to win. I think our irish can win without scoring 85

 

[DieHard_Irish]

It'll come down to defensive intensity and rebounding (not giving second chance points).

 

[ndhell]

ND is going to need the Luck of the Irish to win tonight. I hope yall have a 4 leaf clover.

 

[ndhell]

Well ND is getting their ass kicked so far.

 

[ndhell]

Nice block by Colson, and a 3 to follow it.

 

[ndhell]

Beachem a 3 !

 

[ndhell]

Nice steal and finish by Vasturia.

 

[ndhell]

Nice offensive rebound by Geben.

 

[ndhell]

Big 3 Farrell!

 

[ndhell]

Well ND is going to need Duke to end up becoming more tired than them.

 

[ndhell]

Big 3 Vasturia!

Duke s quality is coming out

 

[ndhell]

Nice move Bonzie!

 

[coolirish9]

Well ND is going to need Duke to end up becoming more tired than them.

I agree that this will be key because of the way duke is playing right now

 

[ndhell]

Bonzie rushed that shot off the rebound.

 

[ndhell]

Ryan did a good job driving to the basket and getting fouled.

 

[ndhell]

These refs sure love Duke.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Might as well only shoot 3s if you can't make 5 foot shots

 

[ndhell]

Wow a missed defensive rebound by Bonzie ended up costing them 3 points.

 

[ndhell]

Bonzie putting away the garbage!

 

[ndhell]

Wow sick play by Farrell and Bonzie!

 

[ndhell]

Well ND should feel fortunate to only be down by 4 at the half considering Duke was on fire. Hopefully Duke starts to tire more than ND in the 2nd half and it negatively impacts their shooting %.

 

[coolirish9]

being able to play better defense in the second half may be the biggest key to winning this game

 

[Irishjohn68]

ND dd not play well in the first half yet they are still in the game.

 

[Irishjohn68]

Down 2!

 

[ndhell]

Big 3 Rex!

 

[ndhell]

Nice steal and finish by Bonzie!!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Couple Dukies with 3 fouls

 

[ndhell]

ND needs to starting making more 3s.

 

[ndhell]

Wow another great play by Farrell and Bonzie!

 

[ndhell]

Nice shot Bonzie!

 

[ndhell]

Rex is playing like a Beast.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Get that ACC banner!

 

[BGI User 1596]

Duke coach will be lobbying the pocketed ACC refs during this TO

 

[ndhell]

Vasturia pissed the ball away on the last possession.
