Elite 8 night 1

Damn, this is a helluva game!

Big shot by Harrison. Bigger shot by Grant.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Then Grant with the answer 3! Go Irish Go!

OFC

This sucks now

 

[dbav]

Does ND foul and try to get another possession?

 

[dukiejay]

It's a great game....that's for sure.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Ridiculous

 

[skysdad]

What a game.OFC

 

[pisgah101]

Wisconsin will beat that tail

 

[Crank_it_loud]

There needs to be an article about refs bailing UK tonight. Good effort nd, hard to beat the zebras as well.

 

[dukiejay]

Damn. Oh well. The Irish had a chance.

 

[Neners]

I wish ND could've pulled it out but God, that was a great game!

 

[pisgah101]

Refs were a lot better in the 2nd half but that first was very pro UK

 

[dukiejay]

Just a little too much Grant down the stretch. I thought ND maybe got away from doing what they had done all night.

Also, the three missed free throws in the last five minutes just killed them.

 

[kailman]

Cal no class not giving ND any credit

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

It was a great effort by the Irish, but just when the prize was within reach...they wilted.

OFC

Did Grant forget he had teammates? And why the hell do you run to the corner?

This exactly. How many fadeaway contested threes did Grant take? Too many. ND had to keep scoring. It couldn't come down to a defensive stop. Grant is a good player but he just tried to do a little too much.

Cal gave ND props

 

[Xzandernm]

cal said uk played badly and pointed out what they didnt do well then he said ND played great. that would seem like props

 

[crazyduke3]

Amazing game. Just spectacular. Wisky will push them as well. As great as Grant is, he had a rough last 3 minutes.

ND did amazing to score in the paint like they did BUT....

They didn't hit the three ball like they needed to. It's been said before and this game is living proof... you need to hit quite a few 3's. 2-3 more would have done wonders for ND but...

Kentucky is 38-0 for a reason. Doesn't matter how it looks, they just gotta win and they do.

Go away if you don't like what's being said.

 

[pisgah101]

To me this is Kentucky.. They won so credit to them but ND was the best the they played all year and next Saturday Wisconsin becomes the best team they've played all year. If they beat wisky and win the ship them they deff deserve it, it'll take that to win and it'll take that for me to believe they are the best team too. ND had a great game plan and I think wisky can do the same thing but they are a lot bigger. Shoulda be fun
