Starting Line-ups
Hillesland not Zeller.
We match up well size-wise against these guys, and if Zeller can play well, they don’t have anyone with his height.

Three from Ayers to start
Man, if he’s on today that’ll be a huge boost.

I feel oddly confident
and it frightens me.

Hillesland needs to stop
trying to break people down from the top of the key. It’s like her heard all of those people last year who called him a slasher and now thinks he’s Lebron.

Kmac
Missed two free throws to start. Apparently has 95 threes this year already and was recruited as a point guard.
I would love to see him bring the ball up with Jackson instead of Hillesland
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:12 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Three misses
and then McDermott slams a board over Gody. We are the worst defensive rebounding team in the world.
Thank God, Kmac is on.

18-10
at the first TV break. Shades of the WVU game. Hopefully not.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:16 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
No points yet for gody
he needs to get involved in this series
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I renounce what I said about a Zeller size advantage. Their center just made him look dumb.
not as dumb as hillesland driving and hitting the bottom of the rim.
18-17. this is the WVU game
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:21 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
nice tip in for zeller
this game is the anti-defense.

tv timeout
we lost that segment between the u16 and the u12: 8-9
we were also horrible out-rebounded on our own boards.
this segment between u12 and u8 will make or break this game.
calling it now, whoever wins this segment wins the game.

gody's back
and trying to take a 14 foot running hook. could be a long one for him
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ty Nash sighting!
Fouling and getting scored on.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ryan Ayers
sporting a little playoff beard. scruff. shadow.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:28 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gody just elbowed a dude in the face!
Awesome/kinda incidental.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:30 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Winner of this segment:
Notre Dame: 6
Providence: 5
Could’ve been more, but the Gody foul gave the ball back to the Friars
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Another humiliating block
this time on Nash. He’s supposed to be the tough guy.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Great give and go with Kmac and Nash!
Looked like real basketball!
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
38-24
Great run by ND, great energy by Nash
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Seventh foul on the Irish with 5:43 left.
That’s a bit much
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:37 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Announcer just used the line:
“A little traveling music,” to describe a Providence player who walked.
Ayers is 6 of 7 from three.

Irish crushed in that segment
double-digit lead going into half would be great, but i’ll be happy as long as we don’t collapse
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:44 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
gody and jackson on the bench right now
they look frustrated
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:44 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
J-PEEP!
getting in on the three parade
46-29 Irish
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hillesland kills me
He looks so awkward out there. He makes Gody look like steve nash
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 12:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
49-37 for the Irish at the half
I’m loving this, but am I totally confident. No. No, sir.
If we could board on D, we’d be up 25;

I love these Bassmaster Classic commericals!
Drama! Intensity! A guy with his hands in a fish!

Start of the second
Keys to the win: Keep the ridiculous three-point shooting. get gody involved
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:09 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
First hit from Gody
That weird running-away jumper. Still no D
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:09 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Providence has 5 1,000 point scorers on it's team
Impressive
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:10 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gody with the worst looking turn-around ever
but hits and misses the foul shot. we’re leaving too many points on the line
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:11 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Luke picks up his third
He’s smart though, we’ll see how this goes
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:13 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
we need to set our feet on our threes
kmac can hit ’em falling to the side, but ayers needs to get set.
not complaining too much, but they know this
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:14 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
ND wins the first segment of the second half 8-7
another foul though, this time on hillesland
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Offense seems off
that should be a hint to work it in to Gody instead of Jackson jacking a three
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:20 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Hillesland on the point out of the time out
mistake
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:24 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Gody picked up his fourth.
Crap call. Providence guy never had position.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:24 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Zeller time!
and J-Peep. Facing a press. No good. Providence on an 11-2 run.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:25 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
J-Peep with another trey!
Then and and-1 for the little guy going for his 11th point of the game!
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:27 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
worst stat of the game so far
ND is 5-11 from the free throw line. 6-12 now that Peoples hit.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:30 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Another bucker for Nash
another dime for Peoples. He’s playing great.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:31 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
We're getting hammered by the refs
I don’t like it. Three by Providence. Don’t like that either. Ayers trying to hit a three on the run. Worst ever.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:33 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Ty Nash has got 4 fouls as well
Gody might have to get back in sooner than we’d like. Or maybe a little Carlton Scott time.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:34 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Nash is done.
9:44 left. Zeller in now.
These announcers on espn360 hasn’t even noticed.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:35 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
ND in the 1-and-1 bonus
I guess that’s good if we can start hitting free throws.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:36 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Kmac's losing his touch now
That’s going to be important. I think that if he and Ayers wouldn’t have missed so many on the run in the 2nd half, they’d still have their strokes

Rob Kurz
just got a shout-out as being a guy we really miss. Don’t tell us that
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:45 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Harangody just used his corpse to take down two Friars
and Peoples gets another one
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
J-Peep is having the game of his life.
Maybe this could lead to great things in the next couple of games
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
HUGE free throws for Gody
he makes them both. 85-70, 5:03 left
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:48 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Our D is embarrassing.
If you can dribble, you can blow by Ayers/Hillesland
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:49 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
91-75 with 3:33 left
Monster win for the Irish if we can hold on.
Sadly, up 16 with 3:33 left does not a Notre Dame win guarantee
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:51 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
91-78 after a Peoples charge and a Providence 3
ND playing some good small ball. Hillesland is gonna have to make a few from the line for us to pull this out tonight
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:55 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
J-Peep and Hillesland
They’re going to be at the line often in these last 2:23
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:56 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Big props to Weyimi Efejuku
31 points and a monster dunk
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 1:58 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Lot of bench time for Jackson today
If Peoples is going to play this well, I’m okay with it.
by mhb on Feb 21, 2009 2:03 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Great win for the Irish!
103-84. Recap’ll be up in a few.
