Rockne's Roundtable

Maybe it's time for the Irish to start paying attention to Johnson. Notre Dame up 41-32 with 14:49 to play.

Do they have any idea to box out?

Connaughton is locked in ... just drained his fifth triple of the night. Irish needed that one. Rutgers calls a timeout down 52-43 with 8:34 to play. Before that Cooley was called for a charge and came down hard on his right wrist and elbow. Looked like he was in quite a bit of pain. Part of that might be a bruised pride.

Wally Judge was 9-of-9 for 20 points last night vs. DePaul. He is 0-of-5 for no points and has four fouls against the Irish.

Too many second chances for Rutgers and no flow on offense.

Uhhhh. I hate this burn crap when we actually have talent. Plus Cooley looks like garbage.

I don't know why it's unsatisfying but I guess a wins a wins. Cooley needs to show up to win tomorrow.

Cooley hasn't been himself for a while - wasn't he under the weather playing against Marquette? ND needs him NOW! ND didn't have many TOs and played well on the boards - hopefully Pat's hot hand continues kudos to Knight. But ND has to have Atkins/Grant playing their A game against Marquette. This car isn't running on all cylinders and if they don't kick it into gear PRONTO the next one isn't looking promising. BUT ALWAYS - GO IRISH!
