ND-Texas should be a barn burner.

Has the potential to be played in the 90's. Should be end-to-end action.

Notre Dame should be really good again this season, but in the end it'll come down to what it always does for the Irish under Brey. ... will be they be able to guard anyone when it matters most (NCAA)? My hunch is this is the year they at least get to the Sweet 16, which I think they've done only once under Brey.

What a win for the Fighting Irish. Should be a contender for the Big East title.
