A game with many ups and downs. What a shame if Wesley only stays for 1 year. 5 in a row and the next 3 are winnable.
have great games in order for this team to go anywhere or three have very good games if Wesley is always great. Atkinson had a big game tonight and Hubb and Goodwin woke up in second half but once again and I know you many of you hate this, Brey is getting the most of his talent.
I remember when Pat Connaughton called him "the" best. Anyway, he's brilliant at getting a lot out of his teams, far more than their individual talent. The only quibble I have with his coaching is once he gets a comfortable lead, he goes into a shell offensively and 9 times out of 10 (providing the other team is decent), the other team comes back and makes it a game. He did that against the undefeated Kentucky team when ND had a 61-56 lead and the Wildcats were on the ropes. Then the predictable burn-the-clock strategy and it played perfectly into Kentucky's hands.
Baseline defensive help are starting to look like a good team. I have to give Brey credit for that.
Agree...need those 2 or 3 others to step up in each game. Brey has them playing well and like most ND teams they need every win possible to make the tourney.
