Message: [QUOTE="bryanradams, post: 159862, member: 908"] As someone who wasn't able to watch the ND game, I have some questions. I keep reading things like "punched in the gut" and "punched in the mouth." Was this game a case of being punched in the mouth and Cuse didn't punch back or is it the first time this season that we got punched? Because I thought Providence, NC State, and even Va Tech came out and attacked us from the jump. With that being said, my second question is...objectively speaking, did ND look better than Providence? I thought Providence played us very well at the Dunk, but we fought back (and most importantly) and made shots. I don't know how alarmed I'm supposed to be with this loss. Having watched college hoops intensely since the late 70's, I have seen that 99% of teams will lose if they go on the road and underperform when the home team over performs. It sucks to lose, but it wasn't a 33 point quit job either. [/QUOTE]
