Been going back to this video for a while now and reliving one of the worst days of my life. I was in 1st grade when I went to this game. Die Hard ND fan, I knew all the players, stats, scores, etc. I sat right behind the ND bench in front of the Grant and Connaughton family. Notre Dame's 2014-2015 Basketball team (32-6 14-4) is the reason why I fell in love with the amazing game of basketball. Lest to say when the horn sounded and the score read 68-66 Kentucky, my 1st grade self bawled and cried and attempted to throw a water bottle on the floor but I was stopped. Im now a Freshmen in high school and this game is almost 8 years old. Unreal how fast time flies.

I’ve literally waited a few years to rewatch this game, couldn’t find it anywhere.

I disagree, Kentucky was the most overrated team ever, whom played in the weakest major conference that year and did not play anybody. They had two O.T games against unranked.opponents, the only two good teams they played until the tourney were Texas, and LS.U, If they survived Notre Dame imagine if they had to run every week through the ACC. Imagine Virginia, , Duke, N Carolina, Notre Dame, any of them.in the same week.

Out of all the upsets I've ever seen in the tournament, even though they lost, I've never been inspired by a team like I was by Notre Dame and Pat Connaughton in this game. Kentucky was way bigger and had much more firepower, but the grit that Notre Dame played with was amazing.

I had a bad feeling about the Wisconsin game because of the way we played this game

I was at this game! Craziest atmosphere that I have ever been in. My family and I were hugging people that we did not even know in the final minutes!

saw a “forgotten college athletes” post on Twitter about Steve Vasturia and had to come back and watch this game. was a sophomore in high school at the time and I can still vividly recall the devastation at the end. now an ND alum myself 3y out from graduation… insane how time flies. don’t think we’ll ever witness an Irish squad like this again 😪

Thanks for sharing this game. Very nice to watch. Two great teams.

My favorite Kentucky win maybe ever I was sweating that entire game so nervous but I was pumped when we survived. Make this 1080p

One might ask, how come Notre Dame despite playing four guards and one big nearly knock off Kentucky? 1. By spreading the floor with shooters and drivers, they made Kentucky’s big guys have to guard away from the basket which only Cauley-Stein was capable of. 2. Although Kentucky had 9 blocks, ND used their occasional lack of weak side discipline on challenged/blocked shots for put-backs. 3. Notre Dame’s speed in the backcourt and movement off the ball (specifically the side pick and roll) often lulled the Wildcats to sleep. 4. By only committing a few turnovers, ND made Kentucky play half-court basketball (not much running, dunking and layups in transition) which outside of Towns (who kept them in the game when down) posting up and occasional shots by the Harrison twins was limited.

Why is this game in 480 and not 1080?

He scored but was outrebounded by 6'4 white guy from Boston. Connington was drafted out of highschool in 3rd round. Offered 500k bonus. He was recruited by Irish to pitch but always wanted to play Basketball. He told baseball coach i am coming to pitch for Irish but i want to play bball. Problem was he turned done mlb bonus. He said well you can be a starter as freshman but i cant tell you you can play bball. He said i am going to tell Coach Brey about you but i am sure he knows you. He went as walkon and only was let on cause baseball coach agreed that he play until hoops over. He played sub last half fr.tear. Became 6th man then starter soph. Started jr. Oops of a year. But Grant was suspended last half of season cause grades. He had to go to summerschool not sure if student council would let him back. Connington was drafted by orioles with a 8 million contract with 2.or 3 bonus. He turned it down to play with grant unsured if he was able. This guy turned down 20 30 million to play his dream. Then he gets drafted in 2rd of Nba. Has been a solid sub. Won a slam dunk title. He has made 25 million in his carrerr. At least 15. In MLB he would be at 100 million.

I've been watching the tournament since the early '80s and Cincinnati epically blowing it has few, if any, peers!

I had notre dame to win the tourney at 60-1. What a run and heart break

Its a shame ND had to play Kentucky here. I feel Notre Dame that year was probably the second or third best team in the country by the time they played Kentucky. Notre Dame was certainly deserving of a Final Four berth.

Man I think Kentucky that year went on 1 of the most dominant runs in NCAA basketball history, and towards the end they seemed a bit burned out on just playing basketball. Plus Poythress injury hurt them as well, but when this team first came into the year they were not only beating everyone they were smashing everyone by 30. They beat Kansas that year 72-40, and beat UCLA by 40 points, and when they were playing basketball at their best nobody could score on them. This team is probably the best defensive basketball team to ever step on a collegiate floor. Calipari went on 1 of the most dominant stretches by any coach in history, and won 38 games twice in 3 years. A lot of national championship teams don't win that many games. The perfect 40-0 season alot of us UK fans were hoping for that year was literally too good to be true.

They got alot of call vs irish. Auguste missed last 6 minutes of half. Also the 7 footer and 6'10 guys were outrebounded by a 6'4 irish pitcher from Boston.

Watch first time since live. Brey should have gone zone here and there. He never leaves his man d. It might have cost him. Hearing Calipari at the end is reason i dont like him. He said we didnt play good. Notre dame seemed to control game. 99% of coaches first credit the other team. At least towns first thing he said was that irish were a good team. Well Badgers took care of that

Also watch Walton in 72? Game final vs Memphis 21 of 22. Only basket he missed was off. Goaltending. Touched the net after he dropped it in basket. You could not dunk. Had 13 rebounds 6 assists. That guy was the most fundemental player. If not for ankle injury he was a center who could pick you apart on high post with back to basket.

This game about gave me a heart attack. I'll also still never understand how so many fans tried to sell Andrew's drive at the end as a charge. I'm not naive. I know everyone wanted us to lose, but how can you even try to make that case rationally?

Irish were in final four year before had Tripucka. Woolridge. Hanslik was a 6'7 guy who played for denver for 8 or 9 years. Was a first team all defensive player for 5 6 years. He had too stay of johnson cause his ability to drive. Irish had 6 guys go to play in pros. Then in final 4. Indiana St. Played Depaul. Bird vsAguirre. Depaul blew the game at end by not getting ball ti Aguirre for chance to tie. Then bird vs magic in final. Also i think bird played in 16 or 8 against Arkansas with Sidney Moncrief.

The shame of it (not that year at all) is we haven't had that level of consistency on defense in the tournament since then! It's why we haven't won a sixth title! 2015 was proof that defense wins championships! That team finished the job because every individual together bought in

Not taking a opponent serious. The 40 minutes of 3/4 full court pressue takes it toll. I have tons of great 2nd 16 games from 70s 80s. The 89 semi Illinois vs Michigan was as good as duke kentucky elite 8 final. Last 5 of that game had guys on each side making great plays. 89 semi 2nd half was won cause Rice at 6'9 got hot and was durant like. Robinson also was having a great game dishing ang going to basket. Mich had rice. Higgens. Traylor? And 1 or 2 orther 69 6 10. Mills? Illini center 6'7 was in foul trouble. So they had 6'4 6'4 6'5 6'5 6'8. Hard to beat a team 3 times in one year. Ollini had blown them out once and by 10 or so other game. Want to see some kids from chicago who were not recruited cause the played center of power foward in high school. Same with 2005 illini. Self got the 2 and 3rd allstate kids.

1:05:07 Roll the dice with 4 fouls and 2 minutes to go??? Len Elmore and Chris Webber are the worst.
