My reaction while watching the end of that game.
If peeing your pants is cool consider Notre Dame Miles Davis.
They're also number one in the country in defensive efficiency by a fairly wide margin.
That was an epic choke job. They were up 8 points and gave up an easy layup and then immediately turned the ball over in the back court and gave up another layup to cut it to a 4 point game. It was essentially over for them at that point. If they had done anything at all during that stretch, they still would have won.

All I could think is that ND has some terrible coaching there... at least get the ball to the other side of the court!
Notre Dame is really doing nothing to help Iowa's SOS. I don't see ND going to the NCAA tourney this year.
As long as I can see rosy cheeks cry, I don't care how it happens. But if I could see a picture of Georges pumping his fist while rosy blows a snot bubble in the background, that would be optimal.
Beyond not getting past the round of 32, he has done a good job there. Surprisingly good (old) Big East winning percentage and in line with big name coaches:

Brey gets a lot out of not much talent. That is a difficult job. The facilities for basketball are not great, and recruiting must be difficult between facilities, academic standards, and football emphasis. The Joyce ACC is not a great venue. They recently gave hockey their own facility and I have been hoping they will upgrade for basketball, either a renovation of Joyce or preferably a new facility. They have moved all of the football trophies out of Joyce into their football facility but they still have a bunch of their other sports memorabilia there. It is a prime location on the campus, right next to ND Stadium, but not sure where they would play during renovations if they went that route. They have had a lot of success with their women's program, but I think that is an easier recruiting job.
BYU chocked against Oregon.
I've seen a lot of teams chock this year. I think that says more about our team than you might think. Our ability to close will make this a special year.
