INDIANAPOLIS — Full disclosure: This was not an easy post to make after Notre Dame’s loss to Indiana. This being my first time at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, it was difficult to find the interview room, especially since I was the last one to leave my courtside seat. That being the case, I only caught the final few answers of Mike Brey’s postgame’s news conference. Still, I hope I was were able to capture a few quotes that Irish fans will find meaningful.
On top of that, my laptop never recognized the arena’s Wi-Fi for some reason, so I was connected to an Ethernet cable that happened to be at my spot during the game. No one in the media room afterward was able to find one for me, rendering any remaining work on site unattainable. The only way I could get this particular post up was to walk to a Starbucks half a mile away.
Such is the life of a journalist. You live, learn and ultimately come away from certain experiences better than you were before. Still, I wouldn’t trade this day for anything. Hopefully, I will have a better sense of timing and direction next time along with a Wi-Fi network my laptop will recognize.
