Smart are 46. I assume they must know each other. Could be a great annual game. Would love it if played in Milwaukee, South Bend and then Chicago on a rotation.
We have already seen examples of some players looking at both ND and Marquette - I suspect the coaches have a lot to do with that. Shrewsbury and Smart are now very high profile coaches in the Midwest. And the Big 10 has only 2 black Basketball coaches which is low relative to the overall percentage (was 5 last year).
Behind enemy lines due to family obligations. I will be internally cheering for our Irish, but vocally doing so might end in divorce.
