It’s still early and things can change, but it looks like it might be a long year for Louisville and Notre Dame.
Louisville took a beatdown from Chattanooga Friday, losing by 10 ultimately but it wasn’t that close until late and Saturday, Notre Dame lost for the first time ever to a SoCon team, falling to the mighty Catamounts of Western Carolina, 71-61.
Louisville’s Friday strugglefest was more surprising because we thought Kenny Payne would have/did have more talent in Year II than Micah Shrewsberry does in Year I.
The Catamounts led by as much as 17 before Notre Dame cut it to 60-57 with 4:48 left.
