ESPN's Take on RU/ND

[Plum Street]

Bad matchup. We are a better team. However, they shoot a lot of 3s, our offense against a zone is terrible and it’s more of road game for us than them.

Hopefully the zone iowa played will help us and we have a plan for it. Need to hope nd isn’t hot from outside

 

[Rutgers25]

We have to shoot the 3 confidently vs zone. So many times we pass up open looks and play tentatively. Let it rip with confidence and quit looking for the perfect shot!

Sounds like a bad matchup for us also the play time and the travel really a disadvantage to us

Do you mean having to fly to San Diego if we win? Because I don't see any issues with us playing Wednesday night in Dayton after not playing at all since Friday. Team should be completely rested.

Sorry for the confusion

Dick has always thought and still does think the ACC is the best basketball conference. He made Duke as much as Coach K did. The constant advertising he did for K was nauseas.

Dickie V has a soft spot for us, but at the same time he's as irrelevant in the college hoops landscape as the current day ACC is.

What is the consensus here ? Bad matchup or good matchup for us ?

Good match up because Notre Dame isn't a high scoring team.

ND is a weird combination of good 3 point shooting but low scoring. Just defend the 3 please and don't overhelp and we will be fine

remember Cliff getting stuffed by the rim on a dunk he missed. Hell, how do you stop 21 for 22 foul shots? We lost to Iowa by ten, Purdue lost by nine. How ****** can we be?

Good outside shooting teams are a problem for us

Funny …didn’t we beat Iowa, Purdue, Wisconsin and a few other really good outside shooting teams?
