The Demons are coming. The Demons are Coming.

Notre Dame heads into final three regular-season games in four-way tie for fourth place in league standings.

UND Story

The win at Cincinnati was just that, A win. Tonight DePaul comes to the Joyce Center and the Irish will need to play much better to come away with a Victory. Cincinnati pressured the ball in the second half and the Irish had trouble getting the ball up the court. The Bearcats are only 8 sometimes 9 deep. This does not fare well for a team that wants to pressure the ball the entire game. They just ran out of steam. With Russell Carter still feeling the effects of his injury, I am sure that DePaul will come in and pressure Jackson from Start to finish. If ND does not handle the ball better, execute better in the first half and run the court with more authority, this may be an Irish loss at the Joyce Center.

This is a must win for the Irish before their contest with Marquette.

The Irish are sitting pretty good right now in the Big East and could end up with a first round bye at the Gardens. And MSG does not feel like South Bend to the Irish.

Add the troubles at Madison Square Gardens (Loss to St. Johns in Janurary) to the road Woes of the Irish (only two road wins), and you have a brew that is not very tasty. This is Go time and Brey and the boys need to come out swinging and keep a fast pace for the entire game.
