St. John’s blog Rumble In The Garden wants to know, in light of the Johnnies’ 72-54 beatdown of the No. 9 Fightin’ Irish…what happens to Notre Dame when they play on the road?
St. John’s Vs. Notre Dame: Irish Just Are Not Road Warriors
Where on earth do the Fighting Irish go to eat before road games, all-you-can eat turkey buffets? Do they sleep the night before road games or do they hit the bars? Do they have a routine? Do the Irish just chat on Facebook and Skype all night before games?
Why are the Fighting Irish so much worse on the road than they are at home? The Irish have played 3 other road games this season, and in each one, they haven’t cracked 60 points. Granted, the other two opponents are Syracuse and Kentucky. And stalwart post player Carleton Scott has been benched with injury for the past weeks.
But the 72-54 drubbing to the Red Storm (11-5, 4-2 Big East) was bizarre. I thought the Johnnies could win a close one, but blowing out the Irish? Even at home? How does a (ranked) team that smoked St. John’s by 15 in South Bend get worked over by 18 points a week later by the same personnel?
