| College Basketball: West Virginia vs. Notre Dame |
For the latest betting odds on this game and the entire basketball slate, check out Bet Phoenix, for the latest odds. It’s clear that Notre Dame coach Mike Brey is enjoying his team’s play during this eight-game win streak. Brey’s No. 20 Fighting Irish can make it 12 straight at home against West Virginia heading into Wednesday night’s Big East matchup. Notre Dame (19-8, 11-3) is seeking nine straight wins for the first time since a 10-game run Nov. 27, 2007-Jan. 5, 2008. Brey has punctuated the victories by chest bumping walk-on guard Patrick Crowley in the locker room afterward. The Fighting Irish came back from 20 points down in Saturday’s 74-70 overtime win at Villanova. After Brey and Crowley exchanged the chest bump, the coach said, “I thought I was going to get a night off of chest bumping at halftime.” A season that looked doomed when top scorer Tim Abromaitis was lost to a torn right ACL after two games has instead seen the Irish move into a second-place tie with No. 10 Marquette. One of the Fighting Irish’s victories during this run was 55-51 at West Virginia (17-10, 7-7) on Feb. 8. Jack Cooley had 21 points and 12 rebounds to start a four-game stretch in which he’s averaging 20.8 and 14.3 while shooting 73.3 percent. Jones continues to lead the Big East with 20.4 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. He’s played every minute of the Mountaineers’ last seven games and had 16 points and 13 boards in last Thursday’s 66-48 win at Pittsburgh. West Virginia won for the second time in seven games, and Huggins believes an NCAA tournament berth is not yet secure. Although Notre Dame has successfully slowed down the tempo at times, top scorers Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant have also excelled at selectively pushing the pace to get easy baskets. Now they will be tested again as both teams are out to prove that they can win a big game down the stretch.
