Mornin' After Beating Another Ranked Team
Mike Brey's Fighting Irish have now beaten FIVE RANKED OPPONENTS this season -- no other team in college basketball can make that claim. Think about that.
Not a single McDonald's All-American wears the Irish jersey, our top player is lost for the season after only playing four games -- yet, we (TEAM) continue to beat INDIVIDUALS better than us.
Here's what the media has to say today about yesterday's beat down of Marquette!

A Star Is Born Today -- Pat Connaughton!
He wears #24 for Mike Brey's Fighting Irish and his best sport might just be baseball (drafted out of high school by the San Diego Padres) -- but today, Pat Connaughton was one of the top college basketball players in the country!
- 23 points
- 5 for 8 from behind the three-point line
- 11 rebounds
- 3 assists
- 1 steal
- 2 blocks
- And, he OWNED every loose ball he was around!
Not bad for a 6' - 5" freshman out of St. John's Prep in Arlington, MA.
Congratulations Pat -- you're excelling on one of the biggest stages in sport!
IRISH WIN -- What A Home Court Advantage!
They have beaten FIVE RANKED TEAMS this season -- the MOST BY ONE TEAM IN AMERICA! And, they've done this with their leading scorer, sitting in street clothes, on the bench.
Today, the 14th ranked Marquette Golden Eagles came to Purcell Pavillion on a seven game winning streak. Two hours later, they walked out on the short end of a 76 - 59 score. HUGE WIN for the IRISH!
