As they always look to launch about 20 treys, maybe the home rims are kinder, and Coach Brey can brag about his "senior leadership". But this group ain't getting it done anywhere in this league.<br /><br />You stay too long and the pro scouts will carve you up. Gody may fall to the second round now. Did he really come back for this?<br /><br />ND will always be a second tier BE program as long as Brey continues his ways! I applaud Scott for calling out the coach on his sub patterns, and it looks like perhaps Scott and his parents are continuing to harp on it resulting in his "benching". The results are all the more startling when you see his talent and the unwillingness to use and develop him on this height-challenged, rebound-challenged club.biggreen23noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37698030.post-84044266760861601522010-01-18T23:16:02.503-05:002010-01-18T23:16:02.503-05:00I agree that West Virginia was the exception.

I'm willing to guess tonight will prove to be the rule. <br /><br />I'm not disappointed with the performance against Syracuse, but it seemed pretty clear all game that we were the lesser team. I'd much rather build a program worthy of consistent top-15 status than one that goes into these games hoping for an upset.BlackandGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973328610673633428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37698030.post-35227425795571234772010-01-18T22:58:21.443-05:002010-01-18T22:58:21.443-05:00That's about as good as we can play against a ...That's about as good as we can play against a quality team.

I know beating Cuse tonight would 'undo' the damage from Saturday, but even so, they can't beat the middling BE teams (the ones they NEED to beat out) an NCAA berth isn't happening...<br /><br />Just need to admit it: ND is never getting back to the Sweet 16 with Brey still hereBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15370296920527162060noreply@blogger.com
