UPDATE 2: Louisville won, 90-85. They were way ahead for most of the game, but Notre Dame mounted a valiant comeback late, with five three-pointers in the last minute-and-a-half — three of them by Luke Harangody, who hadn’t hit a three all season! Harangody ended up with 40 points.
UPDATE 3: USC-Arizona is now underway on ESPN. The Trojans lead early, 26-14.
UPDATE 4: Trojans pick up a huge road win, 70-58. Sweet!
Louisville might win the national title. They are playing that well since they’ve had some time healthy. ND’s 5 point loss was the closest anyone has played Louisville at Freedom Hall since they’ve been healthy. That includes Georgetown. No shame in losing tonight. ND is the only team to play the top 4 (minus ND) teams in the big east all on the road.

As a very strident anti-looeyville type, I’ll jump on that Irish bandwagon, too.

That Louisville press was wicked, but ND’s ability to beat the press nonetheless needs a lot of work if they’re going to win postseason games.

Good to see Daniel Hackett with a substantial contribution in a solid win…
