The Irish Win A Game You Won't Believe!


Folks, I know I wasn't alone yelling at the TV set for the first fifteen minutes of tonight's game against Pittsburgh.   And, I'm guessing many of you had seen enough and changed the channel -- I can't blame you.

Notre Dame is down 19 - 3 fourteen minutes into the first half and there's not a person on this planet who thinks the IRISH win this game -- it was HORRENDOUS...
  • Notre Dame missed 18 of its first 19 shots
  • It was nine minutes into the game until Notre Dame made their first basket!
  • The Irish were on a pace to score less than 10 points for the entire game -- THINK ABOUT THAT!

Yet, NOTRE DAME WINS by NINE!  51 - 42 -- you can't make this up!

Over the last 26 minutes -- ND outscores Pittsburgh 48 - 23 -- and they get a HUGE WIN on the road over a higher ranked opponent.

BIG, BIG, BIG WIN!
