Wow, that was an incredibly ugly second half, but the Irish made all the plays they needed down the stretch to secure the victory.  Big free throws from Luke Harangody, big block from Tim Abromaitis and an excellent effort across the board by all involved.  Notre Dame now awaits the winner of West Virginia and Cincinnati.  We'll discuss this more tomorrow, but the way this win streak is going, there isn't a way Notre Dame can win that would surprise me.  A fluid, offensively beautiful first half gave way to extended scoring droughts in the second, but the lead was never lost.  Pittsburgh showed some flaws , but this is still a huge win.

Will Arnett, what were you saying?
