Louisville @ Notre Dame- 1/10/19

[DallasBUFan]

I think ND will win, but if Louisville is really hot they could pull it out.

A year ago, LOU pounded ND by 33 at the Yum Center. No. 2 Irish Fall to No. 3 Cardinals - UND Athletics

And then LOU edged out ND for the ACC title.
No. 5 Irish Fall in Close 74-72 Battle to No. 4 Louisville in ACC Title Game - UND Athletics

Maybe LOU will have a decent game plan for ND.

Now that people are picking ND, I'm nervous.

I guess I was already nervous, though. Bad memories of Durr's incredible shooting last year, I guess. At least no Hines-Allen this year.

I feel really good about where ND is at the moment but after last year I have a healthy respect/fear for Jeffy's gang.

 

[DefenseBB]

I had to pick ND as I think not only are they better in all the positions, they are at home. I will, however, be rooting hard for Louisville!!!! Plus, watching Muffet having to explain how "that team" with "that coach" and "that player" will be very entertaining....

 

[Plebe]

Can we please please please have Walz mic'd up for when he goes to 'greet' Muffet pregame?

I don’t see how Louisville gets a win in South Bend. A lot has to go right for it to happen.... Louisville has to shoot over 50%, and Arike has to shoot ND out of the game. I expect a physical game, and everyone watching should keep an eye on Arike for her cheap shots

This game is another big showcase for WBB. I am rooting for good sportsmanship to win tonight.

You've got Muffet, Arike and Walz. Good luck with that sportsmanship thing.

If ND wins and Stanford wins both games this weekend, it is possible that tha AP rankings will be ND, UConn, Baylor and Stanford. Embarrassingly, that will mean that 2 beat 1, 3 beat 2, and 4 beat 3! The rankings are ridiculous.

Well, hopefully there would be a 15 second delay for an editing out of what we all want him to say to her!!!

See all previous posts prior to Dec 2nd....it can happen...

Well, I liked your analysis up to the last sentence-I wouldn't say ridiculous but how about you posting your ranking if the hypothesis you proposed bears out? How would you vote next week?

Well, I also root for MSU to beat Bama in football every year. Just sayin'...

Interesting matchup with a lot on the line. First big road test (test period) for Louisville. Let’s see if they belong in the conversation with the elite.

l'll give them some test credit for beating UK at home, but I think this could get ugly. I'm afraid ND is rounding into the team I thought they would be from the start.

I am rooting for an exciting competitive game!

 

[eebmg]

I want Louisville to win so we have a chance at facing them as a #1. We usually do very well in that scenario.

Still, my head thinks ND by 15 or so,

Must admit the way they handled Marquette impressed me.

Have to go with ND in South Bend, although I do believe it will be a battle.

GameDay always gives me jitters!

I always go with Massey.

I think tonight's game should be commandeered by WWE or UFC.
