Can You Believe It -- ACC CHAMPS !!!

Wow...

Never been so proud of a Notre Dame team in a long, long time.

The team no one gave a chance (ESPN) these last two nights -- beats DUKE and NORTH CAROLINA in their backyard -- winning the first ever Conference Tournament Championship in the 110 year history of Notre Dame men's basketball!!!

Now, I must admit when we were down 9 points in the second half -- I didn't think we'd be celebrating a win -- but, how good was that 24 - 2 RUN that QUIETED that Carolina crowd!

We'll be the best #3 Seed in the NCAA Tournament -- come get some!!!

Coach K and Okafor Talk Loss to Notre Dame

Photo: Got to Love Fr. Jenkin's Reaction to Call

Notre Dame fans were feeling like they were "getting Duked" by the ACC officials late in the second half of last night's 74 -64 win.

The ESPN cameras caught Notre Dame president Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C. reaction (in the background -- left of Coach Brey) to a crazy call when Duke's Justise Winslow ran right over Demetrius Jackson and the foul was called on Jackson...
