After Notre Dame's collective heart dropped when its leading scorer went down, the Fighting Irish now believe they're prepared to move forward.

With one simple remark after losing to North Carolina, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim paid the ultimate compliment to Michael Gbinije when asked whether Gbinije was tired at the end of the game.

Two months into the college basketball season No. 24 Pitt finally played a true road game Saturday and it came against a capable opponent in a tough venue at Notre Dame. How it would handle a hostile environment was just one of several questions about Pitt entering the game. The Panthers didn't play the most challenging nonconference schedule and that schedule strength was made even worse when the season opener with Gonzaga in Japan was cancelled at halftime because of unplayable court.
