Poor spacing, poor shooting and completely dominated on the boards - it was not a fun game to watch at Maples. I was hopeful given the preseason, but what I saw in this game was a team that had trouble in the paint and with physical opposing players. ND is not Duke or Louisville so this season will get ugly if they don't start to get more aggressive. Kyle and the staff need to wake them up and Rev needs to push them to be relentless on the boards. Now or never...they brought some good intensity for about 5 minutes of the second half when we came back to within 4 points of the lead. I miss the Monty days with Maples rocking!
