looking ahead to South Bend
as we get closer to the game, a few previews are popping up. The Notre Dame paper has their perspective, and there also is the official UCLA preview.

The major themes of this game, of course, are the significant history of this matchup and the fact that both teams are presently fighting for NCAA tourney berths. frankly, i have not seen Notre Dame play very much this year, but i do know this much: they killed us last year at Pauley. Pretty much all you need to know is Ryan Hollins was our leading scorer with 13 points. if you have a strong stomach, you can check out the recap and box score of last year's matchup.

As far as what this game means to the Bruins, the upside of winning cannot be overstated. it would give us a high-profile road win, over a respected Big East opponent, in front of a national audience, that would make it quite possible for us to reach 18 wins before the Pac-10 tourney. All of these things will not only help us make the NCAA tournament this year, but also give us a hand with recruiting in the future.
