By Nestor Obviously the key focus is Luke Harangody but as Rob mentioned above the other teams have been having success against the Irish by bottling up Luke's team-mates.

By CW I think the most important thing to take from yesterday’s game is that while Notre Dame, for the most part, played really, really poorly, made a ton of stupid mistakes and looked generally anemic on offense, they won.  Yes, San Diego State is not a good football team, the line was set north of...

By CW     You have to love the effort from Luke Harangody, hauling in 36 boards in Notre Dame's two tournament games.  Against Washington State, he was pressing like everyone else on offense, but he had the added bonus of getting double-teamed every time he caught the ball down in the post.  You'd...
