You probably know that Notre Dame's head basketball coach, Mike Brey, was a standout player for Tynes Hildebrand's Demon basketball teams from 1977-80.
You may root for the Irish because of that.

Joe O'Brien was an assistant coach as a graduate student at NSU when Brey was playing here. He's now the head coach at Idaho State.
BTW - Coach Hildebrand was working last night's Demon game at Centenary in his role as an officials observer.
Now, here's the story from the Idaho State Journal in beautiful Pocatello:
