Media -- Mornin' After Our Loss to Kentucky

It was a season we never wanted to end -- not like that...

I have to admit I went numb when Jerian's "double clutch" jumper didn't go in at the buzzer -- however, that quickly changed when I wanted to jump through my TV screen after the Kentucky coach as he was being interviewed at game's end.  That's another story...

What a night -- what a season.

So, here I am on a Palm Sunday morning -- went to Mass yesterday -- and I'm looking through all of the post game media coverage.  I can't convince myself to read it -- maybe you can:

It's been a great run these last few weeks -- was always envious of schools like Michigan State, Louisville, etc., -- who made long NCAA Tournament runs...

Now we know what it feels like.

Thank You Jerian / Thank You Pat -- What a Run

The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame went toe-to-toe with Kentucky -- leading most of the game -- only to lose the lead and game with SIX SECONDS left -- 68 - 66.

I know I speak for the entire NOTRE DAME NATION when I say THANK YOU!

Thank you to Jerian Grant, thank you to Pat Connaughton, thank you to Mike Brey, thank you to the Players, thank you to the Coaches -- how fun were these last few weeks!

I thought we had them -- we couldn't afford to not be perfect at the free throw line over the last few minutes.  The three misses -- the difference on the scoreboard.

Kentucky did not miss a shot the last 12 minutes of the game -- and they still had to make two free throws to beat us with six seconds left.  THINK ABOUT THAT -- especially when you hear Calipari talk about how poorly they played...

Hey -- we gave them all we had.  I'm proud of our team.

Thank you Notre Dame Men's Basketball -- it was special!
