The Hoosiers are obviously rebuilding and not going to have a year like the ones that they are accustomed to having. However, you would never know by looking at the fans. Both teams brought a significant amount of their faithful with them, but even when Indiana was down 30 in the second half, the Hoosier fans kept cheering at every good play their team made. The atmosphere was really incredible for two teams at a neutral site thousands of miles away from home.The Irish started early taking a quick lead and never looking back. Watching the game today you couldn't tell who was the star of the team. Everyone played so unselfish it was amazing, classic Notre Dame ball. Jackson, however, did stand out above the rest tonight. Jackson had a career high 22 points and made lots of smart decisions with the ball. Luke Zeller also played well picking up his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. The game was never really close, but it was very satisfying to pound on Tom Crean, the new coach of Indiana (previously the head coach of Marquette).
The next game for the Irish will be a tough one. The Irish will take on the 7th ranked Longhorns of Texas in a game that will be one to remember. The game should be very interesting, seeing how it will be both teams first real test if the season. The game will be on ESPN tomorrow at 7pm ET.
