The other team played the whole game like they had one foot on the plane back to Tallahassee.
7-22 at the line...that won us the game right there.
I will say that if Gonzaga is the #1 team, and Louisville is #4, the tournament this year should be wide open.
Way to have a positive attitude after their second best win of the year. The second half was a thing of beauty. Tenacious defensive intensity, getting in the face of the Fla.State players and Bonzie's incredible play. I have made no secret of my dislike for Brey but I love the team. They are a great group of kids.

And pretty sure we took the foot off the gas in the last 5 minutes.
Jeez. Who the hell cares. Are Patriots fans less excited about winning the Super Bowl because the Falcons 2nd half play calling let them back in the game and handed them the Lombardi on a silver platter? No.
Notre Dame beat the #14 team in the country last night and were leading by close to 20 for a good portion of the 2nd half.
Enjoy the win.
Ditto
But, the #14 team in the country played like they were in a trance, in my opinion.
I didn't mean it as a negative at all. I think our team is full of admirable over-achievers, is led by a really good coach, and is great fun to watch.
I have said that here many times, even after losses. I would be one of the last people who would want to diminish anyone's enjoyment of an ND win, in any sport.
I've noticed a lot of highly rated teams during Brey's tenure come into South Bend and play as if they're in a trance.
Maybe something to do with ND's play?

I still think FSU played with a noticeable lack of interest, though. I never saw so many ear-to-ear grins from a losing team after a blowout. Even the coach didn't look upset at all.
But I hope they keep tanking and we win the NC. That would be really great.
