We crushed U of L on Tuesday without much help from Lazar and Jimmy.

Where can we watch this? ND's site says it airs on the Big East Network - is that a pay per network? I have Comcast and am wondering if channel 269 (WMYS) might carry it in the Michiana area?

If not available on tv, will it air live on ND's site?

Big East Network games typically show up on ESPN360. You can check there tomorrow.

Just heard from Seth Davis on CBS. Luke is going to play. I really hope this little injury time shows him we do not him to score 30 to win. I really hope that he can somehow play like the Luke from his Sophomore year. I think that is when he was at his best. If we play like we have played the last 3 games, and he plays like that, I think we can be very dangerous.

Lazar Haywood must be in his 8th year at Marquette.

Surely, he passed his bar exam by now.

We're battling. Let's go Irish.

Brian said...

HOLY SHIT!!!!

WE NEVER WIN THOSE GAMES!!!

I cannot believe that, Scott's shot was so huge, maybe season saving.

David said...

Huge win. Wow.

Un-believe-able.

It's a shame SCOTT wasn't good enough to play the first twenty seven games... Good for you Carlton!

Loved the foul call by Brey at the end of OT. 7 seconds and 2.5 makes a big difference.

When is the last time we won a game where we shot 14% from 3?

Loved the effort, didn't give up when I definitely already had

David said...

nice call, Joe.

Marquette should've fouled at the end of regulation (Who don't all coaches just foul?), and it cost them.

Smart move by Brey.

As an aside: Did anyone else know that Zach Hillsland does some writing for the NY Times? I just discovered this info this morning. Good for him.
