Biggest opponent in quite some time. Not expecting a good atmosphere whatsoever in South Bend tonight. We should beat this team if we're making our outside shots.
Marist -5.
Let's go Irish FOXES.

I'm looking at signature wins ,,i really see only Iona as one so far ,,this will give us two ..It'll keep us in the conversation of an at large bid If we finish strong and lose out at the tourney .ha ha...but really when i look at the schedule ,i can't see a powerhouse team we faced out of conference .usually we have a few , from power conferences or high level mid majors ..

Irish a 5.5 favorite. Wish they didn't have that Citadel clunker right before this game. Play well and they can win. If they have the lead at half I like their chances. Play the killer d and get points in transition when the opportunities present themselves.

Marist might be more talented, but this is now a really tough spot. The players will be coming out fired up and motivated to do better after their coaches speech after last game. If Marist can stay close first 10 minutes, game is winnable. ND is young, but they are still ACC level athletes. Winnable, but I would have loved to play them before that speech.

Just noticing Niagara played tough against ND as well as against Syracuse.ND has really played a tough schedule ,,,not a lot of cupcakes ..I'd like to see Marist get out to a 10 point lead ,,establish themselves and stick together and to the plan .

Captain Obvious here. Marist needs to do whatever they can to slow down ND’s all-everything freshman Markus Burton. He is far and away their most effective player and make the whole thing, be what it may, go for the Fighting Irish. He has taken nearly double the amount of shots than anyone else on the roster. Shoots 40% inside the 3pt line, but 20% from distance. Leads the team in minutes played, assists by a 3-1 margin, steals, and scoring average, 15.5.

I'm a big ND fan myself, and Burton is the truth. He's really small though, and I think our guards can handle him by numbers.
