irish vs princeton round 1 game thread

Why cant Ryan play in the 2nd half? Is it illegal or is it because Vasturia and Beachem have done nothing?
 
Wow !! ND WON??? What the hell happened ?? I thought the game was going to OT.
 
Wow................................................................Hats off to Princeton, the played their tails off and barely fell short. What a relief.
 
Is it time to start Gibbs and let VJ sit a bit? He was a ghost out there on both ends...

Second game in a row we had nothing in the last ten minutes. If we were playing a team with ACC talent we would have lost. Lucky to win.

But survive and advance!

sloppiest game I've seen our irish play this year but survive and advance like PHJindy said
 
ND has no shot Saturday if Beachem plays this poorly. What the hell was he doing going under the screen when ND was down by 3 with 19 seconds left???. Inexcusable...props to ND's staff...they had Princeton's end of game, side-out down pat...but Beachem goes underneath...jeez. That comes from the staff watching a ton of tape...Princeton's transition and help side defense were really good....but ND is in the round of 32 and that's what matters.

And Colson is hurt, no doubt in my mind. A lot worse than 95%.
 
Win and advance.......I know why the NCAA does it by making these kind of match-ups but man it's tough to watch. I knew Princeton would be a tough win. They match two similar style teams to make games like these tough wins.

VJ better get his energy back or we're done. He was basically invisible today and Farrell was shaky. At least Ryan gave us something when he was in there and I hope he gets more playing time if VJ shows up with the same attitude.

Actually found out Bonzi can dunk the ball though.........:)
 
VJ was 1-9 from the field.

That was bad enough but that last tip-in Princeton got to pull within one, he was late getting the box out and was just standing there. I don't know if he was sick or something but he gave us almost nothing.

At least Torres gave us some good minutes and some defense and helped give Bonzi some rest.

Hopefully we got the first game pressure off us and will relax and play better on Saturday.

What's wrong with VJ? Does he want to play in the NBA? Good lord he shrinks in big moments.
 
I knew Bonzi ankle would linger. He will be sore on Saturday as well. We will need to win Saturday (potentially w/out much help from Bonzi) and allow him to heal for a week before he back to hundy...

Vast and Beach gotta step it up. Rex too, and BetterThanHurley... everyone!

West Virginia is tougher on the boards than Bucknell ...think we match better against Bucknell. Looks like WVU ....Bonzi better be 100%
