We knew going in that it was going to be a root canal in the second half. They just went after us with everything they had, but in the end, we were still standing.
fortunate liked road though tough trip win
We just had a really tough road trip at Pitt, Georgetown and at Seton Hall. There's not too many times you feel fortunate to win one out of three. But I do feel that way, even though we would have liked to win them all, or two out of three.

We're thrilled to still be playing ball in March.
direction excited games good national possibly speaks teams television top unless year
We're very excited about our television schedule. To go from one or two national games a year to possibly double-digit games on national television is good news, but you can't get on television unless you play the top teams in the country. It speaks well about the direction of our program.

We were just trying to win everyday at practice, so I can't say I ever thought about this. But to get to this point, it's very rewarding.

There is no difference between Notre Dame and the teams in the top of the league.
defense dug hold late lead playing rebounds tight ugly
When we don't get turnovers, we can't win. We had just enough late to hold on to the lead by playing tight defense and swarming the ball. We really dug out some ugly rebounds tonight.
