Thank You Notre Dame Men's Basketball...
The Fighting Irish gave us FIVE GREAT DAYS -- it's a shame it had to end...
Now, we wait to see how many of our seniors decide to come back for their COVID YEAR -- all will have that option if Coach Brey extends it to them.
Thank you to the SENSATIONAL SEVEN -- you gave us all you had these last 3 games. It was fun to watch and if you come back, I think you've all learned we can win playing a little more to the basket on offense and we can play some defense!
Just need to hit the weights a little harder, work on driving to the basket, hanging on to the ball and finishing. And, wouldn't it be nice if we added a few more players to the rotation next season.
Oh, would we all have loved seeing you guys take on Duke...
Next year!
THANK YOU!
#11 Seed Notre Dame vs. #3 Seed Texas Tech
Can't wait until 7:10 PM ET tonight on TBS -- the Fighting Irish play the Red Raiders for a spot in the SWEET SIXTEEN.
Go Irish!
