Fightin' Irish Advance to the NIT Semifinals

Or Final Four, if you will.  Congrats to Mike Brey and his team for rallying after a disappointing regular season to advance to the Garden, where they'll face Penn State next Tuesday evening.  I can only imagine that Penn State basketball fans are as genial and clear-headed as their football counterparts (their non-conference schedules are certainly similar!), so this will be a good time.

I love how this picture makes it seem Luke is bopping Billy Clyde in the head.

 

I was wondering how Notre Dame was possibly going to stop Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson, but I should have been wondering who was going to stop Luke Harangody (30 points on 22 shots, 2-4 from 3, 8-11 from the line, 11 boards).  If this loss cost Billy Gillispie his job, hurray for Kentucky fans, because I know rabid fanbases love nothing more than a good coaching hunt.

good to see

obviously this was a disappointing season, but at least they didn’t quit when they got stuck in the NIT like some other teams have (see: Indiana, 2005).

it would be great to send this senior class out on a winning note.
