Not pretty, but a win on the road in the BEast is a win on the road in the BEast...and even better when its on ESPNU!! Not much "D" played by either team. The Irish hit a couple more threes and a couple more FTs than USF, but didn't get many 2nd chance shots. South Fla's defensive rebounding kept the Bulls in it. 'Gody, of course did everything except sweep up afterwards. 36 points, 4 of 5 from beyond the arc, 6 for 7 from the FT line. Picked up his team and drug them where he needed them to go, basically. Jackson was cold (3-12) and ND could have used more from Hansbrough (3 points and 3 assists in 31 minutes). But they won. I'll take it. 13-3 on the year.
Huggy's West Virginia Mountaineers visit South Bend on Saturday. It doesn't get any easier, does it? WVa has one of the best pair of wings (Ebanks, Butler) in the conference, if not the country, but their PG play can be spotty. Purdue waxed the 'Neers on New Years Day and Cleveland State went toe-to-toe with them for 40 minutes (go H-League!!!). They might be a tad overrated at this point, but will doubtless be a handful for the Irish in South Bend.

Glad you are back, dez! And just when it is getting interesting...
Now that the Poodle has departed USC (steps ahead of likely NCAA sanctions) i ask you this: which is the better job in 2010- ND or USC?
