The Notre Dame basketball Irish sprung into conference play the day after the good guy golden domers fell in a valiant effort the bad guy Buckeyes in the Fiesta Bowl and I’m not bitter about it at all.
At 10-5 overall and 1-2 in the ACC, the are in a precarious place. There are plenty of questions that need answered if the Irish hope to employ Mike Brey’s patented Win-10-straight-conference-games-to-close-the-season approach.
The Offense is Efficient – As Usual
The Irish have the 9th ranked offense in terms of points scored per 100 possessions (offensive rating) in the nation, and they only drop to 15th when adjusted for opponent strength.
