And here...we...go
Last chance for both teams to make their cases for the tourney.
I’ll be commenting/live-blogging this one here in the live feed. Come join.
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.
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
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.
No points yet for gody
he needs to get involved in this series
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
Ryan Ayers
sporting a little playoff beard. scruff. shadow.
Gody just elbowed a dude in the face!
Awesome/kinda incidental.
Winner of this segment:
Notre Dame: 6
Providence: 5
Could’ve been more, but the Gody foul gave the ball back to the Friars
Another humiliating block
this time on Nash. He’s supposed to be the tough guy.
Great give and go with Kmac and Nash!
Looked like real basketball!
Seventh foul on the Irish with 5:43 left.
That’s a bit much
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
gody and jackson on the bench right now
they look frustrated
J-PEEP!
getting in on the three parade
46-29 Irish
Hillesland kills me
He looks so awkward out there. He makes Gody look like steve nash
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;
Start of the second
Keys to the win: Keep the ridiculous three-point shooting. get gody involved
First hit from Gody
That weird running-away jumper. Still no D
Gody with the worst looking turn-around ever
but hits and misses the foul shot. we’re leaving too many points on the line
Luke picks up his third
He’s smart though, we’ll see how this goes
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
ND wins the first segment of the second half 8-7
another foul though, this time on hillesland
Offense seems off
that should be a hint to work it in to Gody instead of Jackson jacking a three
Gody picked up his fourth.
Crap call. Providence guy never had position.
Zeller time!
and J-Peep. Facing a press. No good. Providence on an 11-2 run.
J-Peep with another trey!
Then and and-1 for the little guy going for his 11th point of the game!
worst stat of the game so far
ND is 5-11 from the free throw line. 6-12 now that Peoples hit.
Another bucker for Nash
another dime for Peoples. He’s playing great.
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.
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.
Nash is done.
9:44 left. Zeller in now.
These announcers on espn360 hasn’t even noticed.
ND in the 1-and-1 bonus
I guess that’s good if we can start hitting free throws.
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
Harangody just used his corpse to take down two Friars
and Peoples gets another one
J-Peep is having the game of his life.
Maybe this could lead to great things in the next couple of games
HUGE free throws for Gody
he makes them both. 85-70, 5:03 left
Our D is embarrassing.
If you can dribble, you can blow by Ayers/Hillesland
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
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
J-Peep and Hillesland
They’re going to be at the line often in these last 2:23
Big props to Weyimi Efejuku
31 points and a monster dunk
Lot of bench time for Jackson today
If Peoples is going to play this well, I’m okay with it.
Great win for the Irish!
103-84. Recap’ll be up in a few.
