It's during Thanksgiving weekend, so obviously a lot going on.

But if you are in the Boston area, I think tickets are going on sale this week.

So snap them up before the UConn fans do.

Yeah, exactly.

Hei Duke-fans! Tervetuloa DBR Bytesin 146-episodille. Donald Wine täällä. Jason Evans täällä. On päiväpäivä. Joulua on ollut, Jason. Haluan, että joku ymmärtää, että Jason on hieman lähellä. Pidämme tämän nopeasti. Joulu on päiväpäivä 23.2. Jason, kuinka tuntuu tämän päivän jälkeen?

It was below zero for our friends abroad who use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit. So welcome to all listening the show. There's your crossover there with between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Jason, let's talk first about the Notre Dame preview. I just want to let people know we're going to talk about the Notre Dame preview. And then later on the show, we're obviously going to talk about the first reveal, the first 16 seeds that the NCAA selection committee has released over the weekend.

for the NCAA tournament. Of course, some things have changed since that was released around 1 p.m. on Saturday. We'll talk about that after the break. But first, Jason, let's get to this game tomorrow night, Tuesday, against Notre Dame. 7 p.m. Eastern Time tip-off on ESPN. We will be at the Purcell Pavilion in South Bend.

Hienoa asiaa, Jason, on se, että kun mennään rekordiin siitä, mitä he sopivat. Ennen kuin sanon sitä, haluan sanoa, että tämä ei ollut normaali reissu Dukelle. Niin kuin he tekevät normaalisti, kun he menevät peliin rannalla, he palaavat Durhamiin, vaikka se olisi 24 tuntia ennen kuin he jatkuvat. Täällä he pysyivät DCin jälkeen Michiganin pelin jälkeen kesäkuussa.

He then flew out to Chicago on Sunday. There was a hot dog place that I guess had the guys for lunch. And as they said, they welcomed back White Mike. If you know, you know. I love that. It was great. And so they practiced there at the Chicago Bulls facility. At some point, either today or early tomorrow, they're going to travel to South Bend for that game. And they meet a Notre Dame Fighting Irish squad that has had a struggle of a season and has been one big reason

Jason, you'll talk a little bit about it more in the player section, but I would be remiss if we didn't mention it in this, because it really impacts what they have done this year. They are 12-15 on the season, 3-11 in the ACC. They're tied for 14th, so they are really struggling to try and get in the top 15, which are the teams that actually end up going to the ACC tournament.

He have a couple of top 100 wins. They beat Missouri early in the year by five. They beat TCU by two in OT, and that's a big story we'll talk about in a minute. Stanford, they had a 47-40 win over Stanford, which is an outlier for many teams in the ACC. Rarely do you score 47 points and win a Division I basketball game, particularly one in a Power 4 conference. Did Tony Bennett come back? Is Tony Bennett coaching again? No.

En tiedä, kuinka hän katsoi tämän pelin, tai kuinka hän jatkoi yli arenaa. Hän jatkoi kappaleen, ei kappaleen ääntä. Mutta kyllä, se oli haastava peli. Heillä on pari huolta. Yksi pitäisi pitää, ja iso yksi pitäisi pitää Parduun Fort Waynein aiemmin vuonna. Se oli se, joka laittoi hienoja valoja koko koulutusbasketballiin. Se, miksi puhutaan TCU-peliin, jota he olivat voineet kaksi kertaa.

It was a big story in that game because Marcus Burton, their best player, hurt his left ankle in that win. He broke it. He's had surgery on it. He's been out ever since, and the record reflects that. With Marcus Burton, they were 7-3.

After he's been hurt, since they have had him out of the lineup, they are 5-12 in that time frame. So a clear change in what they've done. They've played teams tough. They lost Ohio State early by one. They took UVA to double OT, losing 100-97.

They lost to Florida State by three, Cal by one, and even the Pitt game they lost by five. So they have some of these games where they probably would have won it back. And with Marcus Burton in the lineup, sure, some of those games could have gone a little bit differently. But they need some wins to ensure they get that, at least in the 15th seed, to play in the ACC tournament. Still, with all of that I just said.

Jotenkin netti on heitä valmisteltu 89. He ovat 87. Ken Palmissa. Tämä on kaksi kaksi peliä. Joten ainakin esimiehen käsittelyyn. Tämä on edelleen suuri peli Dukeille. Ja kuten puhun myöhemmin, heidän täytyy ymmärtää, miten mennä yli Michiganin veneen.

Ja sitten yrittäen tuoda sen ympäri ja vähentää tiimit, jotka ovat haastaneet koko vuosi ilman heidän parhaista pelaajia. Eli Jason, voisimmeko puhua metrikseistä? Tarkoita, mitä haluat. Tietysti heidän järjestelmäänsä on samanlaisia, mutta on tietenkin joitain asioita, joita pitäisi huomioida metrikseissä. Kyllä, ja todella nopeasti suunnitelmasta, sinä keskustelit suurimman osan, mutta Notre Dame-klubi on näyttänyt, että he voivat olla kohtuullisia.

Yeah, and Jason, when you watch them play, and I've seen a few of their games, again, both with Marcus Burton and without, Marcus Burton was a guy that kind of, and we've seen him over the years, right, he's a guy that would try to press a little bit, he'd try to go for a couple of steals, not necessarily sell himself out, but he would pick and choose his opportunities to get his two or three steals in a game.

Sitten kun se on tapahtunut, se tuntuu, että kokoomus on sanonut, että pysyvätpäin. Pysyvätpäin pysyvätpäin. He eivät menetä niin monia taitoja. Seuraavaksi se on mennyt vähemmän. Kuten mainitsin, myös niiden ihmisten kanssa, jotka auttoivat statin menettäminen, oli Marcus Burton. Hän oli yksi, joka yritti menettää statin. Monet ihmiset tykkäävät pysyvätpäin, koska kuten mainitsit, he ovat yhdessä yhdessä työnä. He sopivat yhdessä yhdessä.

As a result, it's going to be easy to pass the ball around them and get to open looks if you can.
