Notre Dame Eliminated from Big East by UVW

West Virginia, led by the 25-point effort of Alex Rouff, has eliminated the Notre Dame men’s basketball team from the Big East Tournament.  The game last night, which UVW won 74-62, will mark the end of the road for Notre Dame, so far as the Big East Tourney s concerned. The chances of the Irish going to the NCAA Tournament are slim to none. And slim just left town.  Hopefully Notre Dame can get into the NIT, where fans will be able to see them succeed in a playoff format. Our hats are off to UVW. Predictably they played some excellent defense, and held the Irish to just 18 first half points.

So where does this leave Irish basketball fans?  Well, you need not worry.  There will be more Notre Dame Fighting Irish basketball tickets available sometime soon, when Notre Dame gets into one of the postseason tournaments. Which one will they end up at?  This blogger seems to think they’ll make the NIT.  Stay tuned.
