Notre Dame-Louisville Game Log

Pre Tip-off: Alright here we go... I've never done this before so it might be horrible. I also may get distracted. Feel free to leave comments to let me know you're here, and I'll try to get to them. Also, ignore the "read more".

And the tip: Louisville get the tip. Didn't even look like Hillesland tried.

Excellent opening defensive possession for the Irish. Unfortunately Luke just shot an airball.

Half-hearted press by the Irish. 3 by Smith. Harangody gets two on the return. Padgett drives and scores. 10-4 L'ville.

17:10
L'ville moving the ball around well. Mcgee open at the top of the key for 3. Timeout ND. This isn't looking good. 17-6 L'ville
16:04
Sorry, reformatting took me away from the game for 40 seconds. L'ville missed a 3, then Harangody made a 2, and then once ND got the ball back, they missed a shot, and a foul was called on Kurz on the rebound. Under 16 TO. 17-8, L'ville

Doing a spot on white suits... I can't believe that this is what they could come up with.
Back from the timeout... L'ville jumper clanks off the rim. No ability to penetrate inside, and then TJ airballs a 3. 17-8 L'ville.
14:38
Why can't we penetrate like L'ville? Williams makes another statement dunk, followed by another pick-off and another L'ville 3. This is slightly depress. ND TO. 22-8
14:06
And we're back to reality, as Peoples turns the ball over. Luckily, L'ville thinks they can do everything inside and take a bad shot. Then Gody is left alone for the two. Again with the overconfidence as they miss an alley-oop. Kurz misses another three. ND not rebounding well. L'ville 3, Gody 2, L'ville 3, Gody 2. Frenetic pace isn't good for first time live blog. L'ville 3. Now 29-14, L'ville.

7:34
While on this break, I'd just like to say that Gody is having another outstanding game. The Irish got a bad start, then spent some time trading 2s for 3s, which didn't work.
Irish inbound. Gody almost lost the ball, got it to Peoples, who made a nice dish to Kurz. Gody. defends well, and L'ville misses. Two straight misses for Gody. Clark runs into Gody, turns it over.

Irish rebound. Took some time, then bad shot for K-mac. Padgett backs in, gets the easy two. This is looking like nightmare. Hillesland gets a kickout from Kurz, hits a two. Padgett misses on a tip, and the Irish drive down fast. Peoples slows it down. Kurz ends the with a bad miss on a bad shot. L'ville gets another 3. TO ND, their 3rd. 42-24, L'ville.

Gody rolls in and misses, and the ball knocked out by L'ville. Under a minute left. Ayers hits the first Irish three of the game. Horrible half.
