FSU vs ND - In game thread

Florida State is up early but it's Fool's Gold so far.  ND is off to a horrible shooting start (4-15) but FSU has already has 8 turnovers and is only up 5.  The Irish will at some point start hitting shots.  Won't they?

So I just found out Syracuse lost.  That's awesome.

Notre Dame guard Scott Martin is really laboring around the court.  I'm not sure what's wrong with him but something is definitely not right.

Hansbrough is having a hard time getting to the hoop.  Micahel Snaer is doing a great job of staying all over him without fouling.

Florida State's length is really bothering ND.  That's the bad news.  FSU struggles to score at times and goes through long droughts.  That's the good news.

Halftime FSU 34 ND 23

That is a low half for the Irish.  1-10 from deep isn't going to get it done for them.  They are about to pull a Georgetown if they don't watch out.  I think they will get back in this.  Abromaitis won't stay cold all night.

ND is actually outscoring FSU in the paint while FSU holds the advantage from long distance.  It's the exact opposite of what you would expect.  Up is down and black is white here in Chicago.

Getting back to Abromaitis - he has thrown up a couple of bricks.  Not like him at all.  Dude can't flat out shoot.



United Center Observations 3/20 - Third Round

27 minutes sounds like a long time.  It's not.  It's impossible to catch both press conferences of the previous teams and hit the locker rooms without missing a considerable amount of the next game.  I missed about 8 minutes of game time.

There's more FSU fans here than you would think.  Well at least more than I would think.

The FSU radio guys do the tomahawk chop with the rest of the crowd.  I like it.  I'm sure I would hate it if this were a football game though.

Just got the notes from the Purdue and VCU press conferences.  I did not know that Purdue was the Old Gold and Black.  So who's the Young Gold and Black?
