Typical zone game - they were red hot in the first half and cooled a lot in the second.  Is the zone back?

ND doesn't foul a lot - probably true, but I think they got away with a handful today, not a big deal but it annoyed me that they have a reputation of not fouling and I wonder if that biases the refs.

Great opportunity for Jessie to dominate - I was really hoping he would get 40 pts today but he did ring ND's bells.

Mintz's game seemed to be cramped by Jessie in the middle - maybe a tradeoff but I would have expected him to penetrate the ND perimeter better.  A good effort that helped win the game, but surprisingly subdued.

Good for Joe - keep chucking and keep winning like you have your entire sports career, we need you.  Surprised he was running the O at the end of the game, but see above.

Interesting that Ajak is getting so many minutes - 0 rebounds!!? - I guess it worked, somehow?

Very interesting that Taylor got 30 min and did some good things but not a lot for 30 minutes - I think he will be very good down the road.

JB played Mintz/Joe/Taylor/Ajak/Jessie a lot today - worked against ND, but don't expect this to be the main lineup.

Would have thought Torrence would have been more productive against a relatively weak ND defense, but I think ND D must have been collapsing into middle more than I realizes; this might also explain Mintz's game.

We shot 3-18 on 3s and won - I'm happy but it won't happen often.
