NOTRE DAME is now coming at their opposition at full strength after not playing with their best player Bonzie Colson for a good portion of the regular season.

The Irish have a great home court advantage and Notre Dame brings the effort on both sides of the ball ranking 134th in the nation in scoring and 77th in total defense. One would figure the early start time in the NIT would favor the home team and that's going to be the top seeded Irish in this instance.
ND's point guard Matt Farrell is coming off a supbar game so I expect a big performance from him this afternoon. Notre Dame coach Mike Brey is a celebrated motivator, and he'll have his team ready to excel in this game and get a double digit win.
