Checking in on Former Irish Now in the NBA

July 25, 2016 by EricStFrame

Pat Connaughton may have led the league in minutes played this summer. He averaged around 30 minutes per game. This is a good sign for his future with the Portland Trailblazers. Pat started the summer league with a bang, dunking one down early against Spurs. He then shot poorly vs Suns, going only 1-for-7 from beyond the 3 point-line. However, he adapted by scoring 14 points on hard drives and drawing fouls. Pat's leaping ability was also on display on the defensive side as he managed a block or ...

How Does Notre Dame Replace Zach Auguste?

May 23, 2016 by EricStFrame

Such is life at a Domer wedding when one of the major sports just happens to take center stage on your big day. But honestly, who could have seen this interruption coming, especially if you make the conscious decision to avoid scheduling the dreaded fall ...

January 28, 2015 by Ryan Ritter

If you've been watching the Notre Dame men's basketball season, you already know. If you haven't been watching this season, let me assure you, this isn't your typical Brey-ball. The burn offense has given way to #DunksDuLac, a much more exciting and athletic offense that many of us have longed for. Of course, that doesn't mean that this team isn't full of threats on the perimeter as well, with the team shooting 40% from beyond the arc. Defense is still a touch lacking and often times the ...
