Although Notre Dame covered ,if they were a little closer to perfect it would of been the second biggest win in program history.  I knew Kentucky had a chance every time they didn't make the backend of their free throws. That was the one area of the game that they could consistently dominate Kentucky.  Also they needed to make those because it was obvious that Towns would dominate the paint on a consistent basis.

People hate on that guy all the time for any number of reasons. He was right though, they didn't play especially well. If any other Coach had said his team just didn't play well, no one would be saying a word. Plus, he said that Notre Dame controlled the game which translates to, they played well.
