PrintNotre Dame Fighting Irish at West Virginia Mountaineers, Feb 8, 2012 9:00 PM EST
Tonight, Mike Brey brings his red-hot Notre Dame squad into the Coliseum looking for their 5th straight win. They've already notched impressive wins over Syracuse and Marquette during this current streak and they would like nothing more than to keep it alive by knocking off West Virginia tonight. Most of the hype from the WVU side of things is centered around Kevin Jones and his consecutive games streak of scoring 20 points or more. So far, he has 9 straight and a 10th would tie him with two Mountaineer legends, Hot Rod Hundley and Jerry West. But if Coach Huggins' squad is to come away with a much needed victory, KJ will need supporting games from his teammates like the ones contributed by Truck and the Turk on Sunday.
Televised coverage is being provided by ESPNU beginning at 9 pm EST. So, sit back, relax, grab yourself your favorite beverage or 11 and join us with running commentary, snark, wit, funny images, hopes, fears, cheers and jeers in the comments section.

Isn't it so much like ESPN...
to put us opposite UNC-Duke I mean, I am from the era when our televised games were few, so I am complaining with a weak voice, but being opposite Tobacco Road had got to be bad for our number.
No matter…we are BIG 12 bound, right!?!
