You win some basketball games at Notre Dame -- and you're on TV as much or more than Duke. That's the "win" for ND hoops fans across the county -- as we get to watch our IRISH play more often on TV. ESPN will have the Irish vs. UCONN game on at 2 PM EST. Today ends the regular season for Mike Brey's boys -- they're currently 24 - 5 -- and a win will tie or break the following team records:
- A win today -- will set the all-time "modern era" for most wins in a regular season.
- A win today -- will tie the all-time record for most Big East wins in a regular season.
- A win today -- will make 94 wins over the past four years -- which will be the most wins over a four-year span in Notre Dame history.
- And, a win today -- will give the Irish 46 Big East wins in the last four seasons -- the most ever, over a four-year span.
This will be the ninth game this season for the Irish against a ranked opponent. UCONN is ranked 16th. To date, the Irish are 6-2 against ranked teams. The only problem for Irish fans today -- John Saunders -- a known "ND Hater" is doing the game for ESPN -- you may want to turn down the sound!!!
