OT: Dillon you missed a great game yesterday at Seton Hall.....the Pirates gave UCLA all they could handle before finally losing by nine...SH's second string point guard outscored Jordan Canada by 10 but Billings,Onyenwere and Hayes were a bit too much...fun to see a big time game in an old but useful 1,600 seat gym
I got your note after I got home from my morning hoops game, which was the last of the season before the holidays, so I didn't want to miss that.
Our family also had a tree-trimming get-together a long-time party to attend, so time was tight. Not to mention, there was an ND-Depaul game on at 1 p.m.
Love that gym...have seen many an ND-Pirate game there, including the great Ruth Riley-led teams.
Sounds like a good game and the outcome seems about right, too: UCLA has too much overall top-line talent.
Thanks for the report.
Doug Bruno swam and sank with a small-guard lineup yesterday against the Irish. He noted that the Irish have rarely had a player where the Princeton offense can run to and run through and Shepard is that player. He's right and teams that go "small ball" will run into this issue a bunch.
