Boeheim and Pitino had the same look during the second half of their games earlier this season. It's the look of a coach who has warned his team about ND's offensive efficiency, watched film, practiced to stop it, but has no answer.

There appears to be an indredulity factor when facing Notre Dame. At the jump, the opponent's player looks at the ND player that he is guarding and thinks, "I'm going to woodshed this dude." One on one, in many cases, he would be right, but then the offensive efficiency and team play overwhelms him and his team like a tsunami wave.

Reminds me of Bookstore

The teams that always impressed me watching that were like the team I saw yesterday - not the biggest guys on the court, but three all-state players and two who just missed, who had played together for years and knew each other's game instinctively. Those teams didn't win the whole thing, but they made the final eight an awful lot. Put 'em in actual refereed games and they might win the whole shebang.

Yes, I Recall

Swoosh (Nike trademark) 1997 Bookstore runner up team. Loved the play of the point guard.

Agreed. Last night, at least ...

I'd guess that the FSU players were surprised at how well Notre Dame defended them.

We got beat off the dribble in the half court on occasion, but the majority of the time, we didn't let them dribble penetrate down the lane. They kept trying to "turn the corner" down the lane but we had great defensive position and didn't let them, for the most part.

I know we've improved defensively over the past few years, but that was one of the best games I've seen us play defensively.

I endorse this post. *
