Holy crap! Down by 21 with 15 minutes to go. And they pull it out.

It was a great win, hopefully they make the NCAA tournament.

I'm still nervous. I mean it's awesome they came back but still don't know if we deserve to be in the tournament. Notre Dame always seems to surprise people in March though!

I think you really have to judge them based on how they played when Bonzi Colsen played versus when he was out. They've also won 20 games in the ACC. Right now it is questionable but if they beat Duke I'm not sure they could keep them out of the tournament.

Biggest comeback in ND basketball history. Not as impressive as the one against UCLA in 1974 (greatest game ever), but a great game.

Don’t forget that in five of those games, Farrell was out as well. Losing your two most important players for five conference games might be too big an obstacle to overcome. If only one or two of those games had been wins, making the tourney wouldn’t even be an issue.

When healthy they are a top 10 to 15 team.

I put the UNC game back in the 80's where Digger ripped his jacket in the back right up there with the UCLA game.

Lot of great games in the 80’s. But bookending UCLA’s 88 game win streak still stands out. Beating San Francisco in 1977 when they were 26-0 and ranked #1 was also pretty nice.

Early in the season they were. Now they. Could have gotten beaten up in ACC play but they would not have been 8-10. They certainly a tournament team when healthy.

I don't follow college roundball like I used to, but gauging from my bro (who bleeds B&G worse than me), Irish b-ball has been dead this year and I gotta think that's in direct correlation with Bonzie goin down. They've been pretty meh from what I gathered.

Yes they were because Colson missed 16 games most of if not all were ACC gamees. Early in the year they were ranked as high as 5th and were in the top 15 to 25 when Colson got injured. They also lost Farrell and Gibbs for a time.

I don’t think that DJ Harvey has played a game since mid January with an injured knee.

Him too, they are actually a pretty good team when healthy.

They didn't get in too bad but they'll surely get an NIT bid.

Davidson's win over Rhode Island knocked them out of the tourney. They were the first team out according to the selection committee.

It’s disappointing, I think they could have been a sweet-16 team. Maybe Elite 8.
