I apologize.

Guys, it's okay.

I did not think the Notre Dame men's basketball team was going to beat Duke last night without Marcus Burton and Jalen Harrelson.

Even with Marcus Burton and Jalen Harrelson, I didn't think this was going to be a close game.

I've talked about this extensively in my podcast, and I can probably guess there's not very many Notre Dame men's basketball fans that listen to this show, so I'll keep it brief.

But it hasn't been a good season since Marcus Burton's injury, which is disappointing because they started out with a few pretty nice games, had a couple good wins against Missouri and TCU, and then their best player gets hurt, and now their best freshman, who's the highest recruited player in Notre Dame history, is hurt.

with an ankle injury, and so I don't think Micah Shrewsbury is going to get fired because I don't really think anyone wants to pay a buyout on a seven-year contract that he only signed three years ago, but it's been a really disappointing season, and it's a huge bummer for those few Notre Dame men's basketball fans out there that are still watching.

Also, Notre Dame women's basketball is having a pretty good year, despite the fact that this is not really the most talented roster they've had anytime soon.

So this is primarily a women's basketball.

Why does everything need to be so negative?

Everyone's looking for something negative to say all the time.

Why everyone just wants to be negative now?

I'm, like, going through withdrawal.

Like, I have to wait till, like, 7 o'clock to watch sports.

It's bullshit, Zazz.

I hate it.

Curling.

I mean, guys, the fact that this Canadian men's curling team won the gold medal.

Have you seen what they said after they won the gold medal and how just, like...

Oh my God.
