A win that @NDmbb at home needed to get back some swag with this vet team vs Top 10 @KentuckyMBB 66-62 ! The Golden Dome is rocking – great way to tip off Final exams for next week. Irish had lost 3 in a row & the Cats have dominated inferior comp. @NDMikeBrey gets major W! pic.twitter.com/c2mXHI23U7
