irish vs princeton round 1 game thread

[coolirish9]

a lot of people are talking about how good Princeton is but if our irish play good defense and can force Princeton into a fast tempo game then I think our irish win. Princeton doesn't like to go fast from what I've read and so getting them to play faster will be one of the main keys to this game

Brey says Matt Farrell is a better PG than Bobby Hurley. Everything is great about Farrell except some crazy shots when driving to the hoop. Princeton is a traditional tournament PIA.

Listening to SC and they were talking Princeton up.....But then said Princeton had no answer for Bonzie Colson

Hoping there are no lingering issues w/ Bonzie and the ankle. Would be nice if Geben steps up big in the tourney followed by an outstanding off-season.

Survive and move on.........

Go Irish! Beat Princeton!!

Took the day off and ready to watch the Irish!

If ND plays defense like they did against Virginia, they'll win. As long as they keep shooting well.

Oh man this is nerve wracking. It's Final 4 or Bust. If Brey loses this game his mojo is going to be gone.

 

[ndhell]

Brey looks mad nervous.

I love Farrell. We would really not be the same team without him.

 

[coolirish9]

could be wrong but I thought I heard the anouncers say that colson is at 90 percent or so health wise

Bonzi looks a step slow

 

[ndhell]

Colson missed that layup

Colson missed that layup

I thought he got hit on the arm

Bonzi looks a step slow

Someone else needs to pick up the slack.

Geben time

 

[ndhell]

Great finish by Geben.

 

[ndhell]

Rex got busted open. I hope he doesn't need stitches.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Princeton has some length

 

[ndhell]

Nice junkyard basket for Bonzie.

 

[ndhell]

So far ND doesn't look too hot.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Who's the guy for Princeton who cant make a lay up

 

[BGI User 1596]

Weakness by MF on the terrible shot selection and foul

 

[irishsportsfan]

Looking sluggish. Colson was fouled on that layup, his own fault though for not taking the easy shot.

Hope Rex is ok - looked bloody!

 

[IrishHerb]

Princeton is looking pretty good. And just think, they do not have scholarship athletes.

 

[ndhell]

Wow nice pass to Ryan.

 

[ndhell]

Wow how does Bonzie make so many tough shots?

 

[ndhell]

Beachem needs to hit open 3s.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Beachem needs to hit open 3s.

He needs to drive or pass it

 

[ndhell]

Great drive by Vasturia.

 

[irishsportsfan]

Beachem needs to hit open 3s.

Yea... growing tired of these missed WIDE OPEN 3s the last few weeks.

 

[BGI User 1596]

Great drive by Vasturia.

Lots of space to drive it .....keep it going

 

[ndhell]

That was a nice block by Torres.

 

[ndhell]

Wow another sick pass to Ryan.

 

[ndhell]

Wow amazing penetration by Farrell.

 

[ndhell]

Beachem flexing his muscles under the basket.

 

[ndhell]

Nice steal by Farrell.
