G-Mac Steps Up

After hearing a lot of criticism from me for his horrible play this season, Gerry McNamara played a great game last night. He shot only 8-23 but he hit 7 big three pointers. His biggest play was the scoop shot he hit (his only 2-point field goal) with 15 seconds left to put the game away. That is the shot he usually misses. We were up 3 at that point and a miss would have allowed Notre Dame to tie it. Big win for the Orange who were starting a tough stretch of 4 of 5 games on the road, the last 3 against teams ranked in the top 11 in the country.
