Notre Dame plays Wisconsin tomorrow, so they may be 7-0 coming into this game by Indiana State. Despite their 6-0 record, the ND fan base doesn't think they're playing too well. Will be a tough matchup for the Sycamores.

Notre Dame's recent and upcoming schedule:

Georgia: W in 2OT
Cal: W
Wisc: Today
ISU:
UK:
Gonz:

That's a pretty tough road with us sandwiched in the middle...it'd be nice to catch them napping.

Where are the tree fans sitting, section etc. gonna get tickets tomorrow

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Notre Dame took care of Wisconsin tonight... they're 7-0. Good team.

 

[SycamorePsycho]

Myself and 7 other Sycamore fans will be headed to South Bend tomorrow...believe we are sitting in the upper section not sure where though...

 

[KAPat1865]

GottaHav and I will be making the trip from Ft. Wayne. We r sitting in Section 14 6 rows up from the floor!

 

[SycamoreFan317]

ND will come into the game ranked #25.

Hopefully not for long! :violent:

This is a really big battle for the Sycamores. If they stand a chance, they will need to slow the game down and control tempo as ND has really shown they can score in bunches. I'm interested in seeing who we have guarding Tim Abromaitis. Stats going into the game:

Notre Dame:
23rd in scoring at 81.9ppg
8th in rebounding at 44.7rpg
25th in assists at 17.3apg
157th in FG% at 44.2%

Sycamores:
247th in scoring at 65.7ppg
163rd in rebounding at 36.7rpg
219th in assists at 12.3apg
184th in FG% at 43.4%

 

[SycamorePsycho]

My guess would be Carl to guard Abromaitis...

 

[ISUCC]

looks like ND is favored by 17

anyway, that's a thread on their scout site which starts with:

Opening Line: Notre Dame -17 vs. Indiana State

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only thing that worries me about this game is we are playing them 2 days after a huge tourney victory. You would figure the Irish will have a let down plus be tired from playing games on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. You also have to figure Indiana State will be sky high to play us.

Indiana State is 3-3 so far with loses to the following teams:

by 12 @ Loyola Chicago

by 5 against Eastern Kentucky on a neutral court.

by 15 @ Ball State

As you can see Indiana State is not that impressive so assuming the Irish don't have a let down we should crush them. Let's get a blowout win and then we will have a week to get ready for Kentucky and Gonzaga.

....can't really say that they are that far off. We'll see who comes to play. It's a great experience for the team, any way you look at it. Time to get our sh-t together. GO TREES~ We already knocked off one HOLY institution, why not another?

 

[KAPat1865]

We already knocked off one HOLY institution, why not another?

HAHA Bally that's great!ray::worship2::cheers:

I am excited for this game. While I don't expect us to win necessarily I do expect us to keep it close. If I were a betting man I would take ISU with that spread..but I'm not..anyways ISU will no doubt have their hands full but with ND being in between some big games maybe...just maybe...they will let their guard down and we could squeak out a win!

 

[Greene Co.]

Where can this game be seen? TV that is... Can't make the trip and my Daughter has a game. Would like to DVR the action if possible. Any ideas?

 

[KAPat1865]

The game isn't on TV. Keep an eye on Channelsurfing.net but don't hold your breath.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

17 points? Holy Hell! I will take the Sycamores with a spread like that, ND is exceeding expectations to this point in the season and the Sycamores have yet to play to expectations. I will take the Sycamores baby!

 

[Greene Co.]

I'm with you on this. We have yet to put a full on together. We can do this.

ND Ticket Anyone ?

I will very likely have an extra ticket for tonight's ISU -- ND game. Bought thru ISU so it should be in the ISU fan area. Paid $20 but will take $15. I'll know for sure if my friend is unable to go by around 3:30 today. Send me a Private Message with your cell phone # and I'll contact you around 3:30 today and arrange to meet somewhere if you'd like the ticket.
