Notre Dame 91, Liberty 72
Good minutes for the freshmen as Luke Harangody carried the offense throughout an offensive shootout that raised a few more questions about our defensive ability. Tory Jackson had a pretty solid night. He was the only guy who played over 30 minutes tonight, a nice change of pace for an easy ...

Liberty Preview
Give me Liberty or... The Flames come into town a wounded team, having been crushed in consecutive contests by Clemson (79-39) and Old Dominion (73-41). Shooting has been a bit of an issue. They only managed 28% from the floor on Thursday. Obviously Seth Curry's transfer has disrupted the ...

Dayton
Villanova survived against a very good Dayton team today. The 21st ranked Flyers beat Georgia Tech yesterday and almost pulled off their second upset of the week. Brian Gregory's team is looking very good already. A home-and-home series with this program usually pops up as a possibility every ...

Notre Dame 82, Long Beach State 62
While the first half gave plenty of cause for concern, Notre Dame showed a ton of ability in the end and put away a talented 49er team with ease. If we can see a lot more of the interior offense and commitment to defense the rest of the year, this squad could surprise some folks. Of course, more ...

Long Beach State Preview
Tomorrow will bring one of the more interesting nonconference games for the Irish this year. The 49ers are in town, a young but experienced squad that has been picked to win the Big West. Apparently Long Beach called up Coach Brey to get this on the schedule, so they are surely not lacking in ...

Basketball Marathon
We're in the middle of a College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon for you ESPN addicts. I can't imagine having to play a game at 6 in the morning, but I guess the chance to play on national TV is a decent reward for some of these schools. A couple really good games on right now. Hofstra looks to take down ...

Notre Dame 95, St. Francis 72
Solid win, if not as great as Saturday. We showed a lot of offensive firepower, but the defense certainly leaves some questions. I mentioned in the preview that St. Francis would not be a very good three point shooting team, but they really came through, going 13-19. Lots of open looks from ...

St. Francis Halftime
A little in-game blogging: I can't believe I have not commented on this yet, but the new arena really looks great. Add in the proposed standalone practice gym and our facilities will finally approach the quality seen at high-major basketball schools around the country. I don't know how long ...

St. Francis Preview
Game two tomorrow. St. Francis comes into town off of a 65-61 win over American University on Friday. The box score from that contest tells us two things: 6'6" wing Devin Sweetney is the star of the show and the rest of the team will do their collective best to chip in by heaving shots from long ...

Notre Dame 86, North Florida 65
Very, very good win to start the year. North Florida did outscore the Irish by ten in the second half, but a 47-16 lead at the break allowed Coach Brey to play every guy on the bench, including Mike Broghammer and Jack Cooley for nine minutes a piece. Tory Jackson was just about flawless from ...

North Florida Preview
We started playing the Ospreys a couple years ago because former Irish assistant Matt Kilcullen was their longtime head coach. He has since been reassigned into the administration. So hopefully this will be a nice homecoming for him and the Irish clean up once again. Last season, North Florida ...

Bracketology
I'll preview the first real game of the season tomorrow, so hopefully this will be the last filler post for a while. It will be great to have some real ND basketball underway. The Big East received 8 bids in Joe Lunardi's first Bracketology of the year, with the Irish sliding in as an 11 seed ...

Post Exhibition Notes
Nice write-up in the South Bend Tribune about the two exhibition games. Interesting information about a possible future pre-season scrimage (great idea) and quotes about Harangody spreading the ball around more in the second contest. That's what we need from Luke. The only troubling aspect from ...

Around the Country
A pair of interesting articles on ESPN.com for you to check out today. Well, the first really isn't an article, per se, but the power rankings are interesting to peruse. Kansas holds the top spot in most balloting, with Jay Bilas ranking Tom Izzo's squad at #1. Villanova and West Virginia are ...

Update on Former Players
Slightly dated news, but I'm still struggling a bit to find solid news stories before the season officially starts. Rob Kurz, the Cavaliers' final cut of the summer, will start his second professional season trying out for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants , an NBDL squad that has also invited Kyle ...

Adios Charlie
After the football team's second loss to Navy in three years, I think we can start to look forward to basketball returning again. What a sad state Notre Dame fans live in.

Notre Dame vs. Quincy
Game recap will be posted late tonight or early tomorrow. Have a good Friday everybody.

World Series
Yankees finish off the Phillies in six, making it officially... football season? The national pastime does really go all year. I guess the nice thing about being a Cubs fan is that I stopped caring about baseball in July. Other than that, is there really anything to comment on? Syracuse lost to ...

Harangody on the Radar
Luke Harangody has been receiving some very well deserved preseason hype so far this year, being named the Big East Preseason Player of the Year and a first team All-American by several publications. On Monday, he received the most votes on the AP All-America Team. Great news for our star ...

Season Preview
Time to get this thing rolling. After last night's contest, it looks like the Irish will be relying on an even shorter bench than in year's past with Jonathan Peoples having the inside track at the final starting position. With one exhibition game left, some things are still subject to change ...
