not sure what's been posted and what hasn't.  Not going to sift through 2 days worth of posts.  A couple of things.
 
As bad as we think Higgins is, he wasn't the referee that botched the majority of the calls, in fact he was least culpable of the trio.  Not sure what game the other two referees were watching, but it wasn't the SU -ND game.   It was so bad that even the ND students were laughing at how bad the officiating was in their favor. 
 
There was a scrum for a lose ball near the student section, an ND player was at least of foot OB when he saved the ball. No call. the students near the call just started laughing.  The official later told the SU bench that he blew the call. At least he was honest about his own incompetence.
 
The Cooley play.  Geeze.  I just don't how a five second call, three seconds or a flagrant elbow weren't called there.   The push off by Scoop was a joke and the two drives where KJ and Dion were clubbed like baby seals  - just amazing the no calls in those cases.
 
But having said that, we played like  and referees tend to reward the aggressor.  And we certainly werent the aggressor last night.  Not only did we not rebound well, there were stretches where we weren't even close to getting a board.  Keita and Xmas jsut don't have the girth or desire to mix it up and Kjoseph is too busy worrying about leaking out on fastbreaks to bother with rebounding.
 
Speaking of KJo, he got the business end of JB's anger after he got stripped by foreign dude.  That game certainly was not going to make NBA scouts drool. He compounded his mistakes with a lack of leadership and effort.
 
If you haven't seen the Asian girl who kicks bowls on her  head while on a unicycle, she was the half time show.  She was the only thing more accurate than ND's shooters.  Pretty amazing.  Students loved here, place went nuts.
 
Its hard to have a bad time when you go to Notre Dame.  Its a great campus, with friendly people and the gym is small with a great atmosphere.
