Big game for the Irish basketball team this weekend as they face the 2nd rated UConn Huskies. It'll be a tough game for the Irish, going up against Jim Calhoun's $1.6 million dollar salary (he just told me to shut up) and heading into Storrs where the students will put down the shrooms and Dave Matthews and be ready for this Saturday afternoon game. I'm not enitrely confident about our prospects this afternoon, but if the Irish can somehow pull this one off, they'll be looking pretty before their last 2 games in attempt to salvage the season and end up 10-8 in the Big East. This game could go a long way on the team's tournament resume, so let's hope they come out blazing. Go Irish!

thabeet took the tip
least surprising moment of the game
jackson hits a jumper
we have to shoot well from outside
carlton scott, ty nash and zach hillesland
their jobs today should be to foul the hell out of thabeet and adrien
if hillesland was a boxer, he'd be a bleeder
that dude is always cut
if thabeet is hitting jumpers
it’s gonna be a long afternoon
lost the first segment 9-5
not a great start. harangody looks lost on offense and no one is playing defense. seems sadly familiar this season
my bad, nd had that timeout
we lost the first segment 11-5
peoples and nash have been giving the best energy lately
hopefully we see one of them out of the break
you can't help but laugh when we get destroyed on a bloc
it happens so often
can only hope that adrian/thabeet cool down
& harangody still looks lost
thabeet is gonna be fine
never cheer for anyone to get hurt, but some girl screamed in the crowd when she saw he was down. it was like a horror movie scream. hilarious
peoples, jackson, gody, nash and kmac right now
let’s see if they can defend at all
flipper three missed from gody
followed by a slam from robinson and a turnover
If they're hitting threes and the bigs hit the elbow jumpers
I’m not sure what shot we have. Can we play Nash, Zeller and Gody at the same time?

After UConn went up 20-14, I looked to the sideline. Mike Brey turned for an answer…and Luke Zeller went up to go into the game.
God help us.
we look so weak (besides Nash) around the rim
you can’t draw fouls like that
when did we lose our touch?
seems like it’s been since the texas game
god bless you Jonathon Peoples
finally someone makes a shot
thabeet's gonna have a triple double
points, blocks, boards
Thabeet
I think I’ve talked myself into him as a solid rotation player on a good NBA team. He’s never going to be great at offense, but he’s drastically better than last year.
I would like Ayers to hit another seven threes?

i think thabeet could be a mutumbo
maybe even better offensively. he’s only played hoops for like four years
ayers is feeling it
he’s 5 o’clock shadow drives his power
who is this edwards guy?
he played well against us in SB too
here's why it's gonna be tough to win
UConn dunks, we shoot running hooks
only down 2, fine
but it seems like we’re down a million, less good
hillesland is out
feel bad for him, but he’s been ineffective of late
ayers hits a three over someone?!?!?!
i don’t get, but I like it
gody burned thabeet from the wing
if we can keep thabeet out there, life will be good
not a bad first segment
we need ayers to stay warm. he and kmac really need to go 50% from three
poor substitution for ND
zeller for nash, peoples for ayers after UConn tied it up. not the guys we need to stem the flow of momentum
jackson with a great take
and a chance to tie……………converted.
ayers is on adrien
no wonder he has 21 points on 10 of 11 shooting
Tyrone Nash
I’m ten times more impressed with ND with Nash emergence. Kid’s fearless. Great handles, too.
--PB--
gody showed be looking to take thabeet off the dribble
every time he gets the ball around the three on the wing
and then gody
gody tried to follow with a leaner. not his shot
He needed to kick that out
Oh, this was Senior Day?! No way Jeff Adrien loses on Senior Day.

nash has three fouls
but if things get out of hand, why not get him in before they do even if he fouls out
sometimes brey calls timeouts
and i don’t even think he knows why
Nash is what Adrien was on that 2006 UConn team
Bunch of skilled perimeter guys who could score, but maybe a little soft, so the young guy just came in and bashed some skulls.
I wish Mike Brey would let him go in and bash some skulls for the next three minutes.
