Louisville Put on a Historic Offensive Show...

Who shoots 65.1% from the field -- 64.7% from three point range -- and then 63.6% from the foul line...!?!

I'm telling you -- we'll never see this again in college basketball.

The #3 Louisville Cardinals rolled over our #2 Fighting Irish 100 - 67, becoming the first team to hang a hundred on a Muffet McGraw team in more than 19 years.

Huge Game Tonight for Muffet's Fighting Irish!


It will be #2 vs #3 -- as Notre Dame travels down to Louisville to take on the Cardinals at 7 PM ET on ESPN.

Can the injury depleted Irish win another huge road game?
