#22 Notre Dame: 64
The Irish needed a win and they got another frustrating loss. Look everyone knows the negatives, 3-5 Big East record, likely dropping out of the top 25, and upcoming probable loss pittsburgh. I am going to focus on the positives of this game and moving forward I am more optimistic than yesterday about the team's chances going forward.
For one, Jonathan Peoples and Luke Zeller started. People's really impressed me tonight, he had 8 points including two big 3s. I always hated on him, but he looked like the obvious choice to start over Ayers. Ayers is ice cold, his shot has no arc. If Ayers can't shoot he sucks. I have no comment for Hillesland's dreadful performance. Luke Zeller played real well, hit few 3s and played strong defense for the most part. He should start for the remainder of the season.
Tyrone Nash did not do much, but he did play alot which was good to see. You know. he played overall better than Ayers and Hillesland. Out hustled them at least. It was great to see him in there and extend the depth.
Ayers and Hillesland combined for a total of zero points. They are really disgusting me right now. I don't know what happened, you would think pulling them out of the starting line-up would get them going. It didn't apparantly.
Gody carried the team, scored over 30 points and had 15 rebounds. Simple as that. Mac was shut down, and he cant help that when he is being face guarded. That's when people like Ayers and Hillesland have to take advantage of the pressure on McAlarney and score themselves.
A loss to Pittsburgh will be a major blow If the Irish don't pick it up, it's NIT time.
