I again agree with Linda.  I don't think ND deserves to be ranked.  They are very overrated.

Before our win over them you felt this way?

Based on the few games I've seen this year (including ours), and looking attheir roster, I'm not that impressed.
Georgetown, while more talented and experienced rhan us, suffers from the same inconsistency bug.  I'm not yet sold on Marquette---although Buzz seems to get the most out of his roster.  Cinci has nothing inside (other than Rubles, who plays more on the wing).

You evaded my question though.  Going into our game before the ball was tipped.  Did you think ND was overrated?

When I saw that they were in the top 25, I didn't think they belonged there.  Going into our game, I felt we would beat them.  I was more confident going into that game than I was about the Cinci game (although we've done fairly well against both lately).

In short, yes.  Going into our game, I felt that way.  Tell me, besides overhyped Cooley, who is the scary player on that team?

Cooley is better than he played against us.
I'm one of ND's harshest critics.  I have said some pretty damning things over the past few years echoing your sentiments about them being overrated.  But facts are facts and they win and often go thru stretches where they run a bunch in a row either way.  Their problem is they are not deep at all.  Pretty much bordering on the depth we had last year.  Connoughton and Martin have been all over the place this year in terms of consistency.  Atkins is a solid PG option.  We have their number no doubt.

Providence loses another close one at home v. Pitt. Cotton for PU is one of best guards in BE.

Villanova hanging with  Louisville up 4.

Pretty amazing considering this is the same Nova team that was blown out at home to Columbia.

I think for tonight we found a worse free throw shooting team then SJU tonight.

Louisville has been dreadful tonight and they just gave back a 6 point lead.

Down 5.

Can't believe Villanova is going to win this game.

Possibly losing Martin would add to ND struggles;

If he is out for year, helps us a bit playing at ND IMO.

Definitely.  They only went 7 deep as is.

Nova up 6 at half v. Cuse. Still think Cuse will win, but what is Nova drinking? Ha!

They're playing well.  They are a catholic and I normally want them to win, but I don't think it's in our best interest with nova having a win over us this season.

Archapodomus flops every chance he gets.
Should have went to Duke.

Nova gets almost as many calls as duke this year.  What's with that?  I feel like I'm watching a Paulus-led Duke team here.  Only reason we lost to them was the refs happy whistles all game.  Same thing happening now to Cuse.
