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!!!

Domer Cooley Sets NBADL Rebound Record!
Former Notre Dame student-athlete Jack Cooley grabbed a NBADL record 29 rebounds last night -- while adding 27 points for the Idaho Stampede in their 129 - 116 win over the Los Angeles Defenders!
I guess they don't play defense in the NBADL...

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...

"Jekyl & Hyde" IRISH Find a Way to Win...
It was a tale of two halfs...
There was a first half when Notre Dame made almost every shot they took -- building an 18 point lead at the half -- shooting 62.5%
Then, it got ugly... I don't have the words or the stomach for what we witnessed the the second half. All I will say is thank goodness for Steve Vasturia...
HEY, it's the first ACC Tournament win in Notre Dame Men's Basketball history -- and we're playing on Friday!
