No. 21 Notre Dame Ready to Play Pitt

The Fighting Irish will host Big East powerhouse Pittsburgh tonight at the Joyce Center, so make sure to get your tickets to see the game. The Irish are on a 34-game win streak at home, but they have lost the last five straight games versus Pittsburgh- including their most recent meeting in 2006, which ended in double overtime. The Pittsburgh Panthers are not ranked currently, but they were earlier in the season. They are 19-6 overall and 7-5 in the Big East. Make sure to check out the pre-game info that UND.com has compiled for you. You won’t find a more comprehensive analysis of the past history of these two teams as they prepare for another intense conference battle.

The Notre Dame Blog is not high on predictions with the basketball team this year, but you’ve got to be tempted to make a wager on the Irish in this one. The team looks sharp, different players are stepping up every game- most recently Tory Jackson- and the crowd at the Joyce Center is always a huge boost for the team. The only prediction we’ll make: This is going to be a great game to see live.
