Quick Quote

Thanks to everyone for the compliments on the '08 recruiting picture. I'm actually about to hit the books pretty hard for the first round of tests starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to write much about the Seton Hall game other than:

1. Notre Dame was lights out. Remember the second half of the Cincinnati game? Yeah, the shooting was something like that. 55% from the floor and 47% from deep - that's some serious nylon splashing.

2. Brey was finally able to work in the freshmen at the end of this game. Nash still needs to get more PT in order to shake the deer-in-the-headlights syndrome, although I think that when he gets comfortable, he'll be a great player.

3. Notre Dame landed high school recruit Jack Cooley (picture a smaller version of Harangody) after he had a great visit to campus.

"I was really impressed with how the team was one cohesive unit," Cooley said of the Irish. "No one complained if someone else took a shot. They all got together as a team, the coaches were great, everyone came up and introduced themselves. It was a great experience. I just want to be a part of that."

4. K-Mac, among other Irish players, is a beast. This week's quotes come from some of the previous coaches that got burned by some of his 3-balls.



"He was unstoppable against us," the Wildcat coach said of McAlarney's 30-point, five-assist performance. "He came out and made a couple of threes from 25 feet, and when we got out on him he started making runners, floaters. We really could not stop him."
Villanova Coach Jay Wright

"He's one of the best players in this conference. He's got game, and shtick and attitude," Gonzalez said. "He can just play. He reminds me of Scott Skiles and Gerry McNamara and all those tough guards who could beat you in so many ways."
Seton Hall Coach Bobby Gonzalez

Go Irish. Beat Eagles!
