Notre Dame Men's Basketball
Game Notes
- Ayers was incredible tonight. He's caught the 3-pointer bug in a very good way, making a whopping nine shots from the outside.
- The team maintained a comfortable lead without throttling their opponents. For a moment midway through the second half the Coyotes broke the twenty point barrier, but the Irish put a stop to that with another 3 points.
- In the last few minutes, Kopko and Andree both got playing time. It was also nice to see more minutes for Nash and Scott through the second half.
- The leprechaun was throwing free t-shirts into the student section after three pointers, but soon had to stop because the team was scoring so many.
- Free throws looked much better (7-of-11). Good for them.
- A group of high school-aged kids came to the game in body paint, spelling out Go Fighting Irish. The leprechaun joined them for some cheers in the second half.
- Also spotted at the game: Golden Tate.
- All in all, a solid game for the Irish. We were outshot in the second half, 46-42, but the team had the situation firmly in hand. Others might say otherwise, but I don't see any cause for concern here.
- Final score: Irish 102, Coyotes 76
