West Virginia at Notre Dame

The Irish will open Big East play against West Virginia. Notre Dame has been one of the most difficult teams to play at home as they swept the schedule last year, and stand at 8-0 so far this season. They have run off 28 straight at home and seem to have West Virginia's number. The Irish have taken 12 of the last 13 from West Virginia, and not a single WVU player was even born the last time West Virginia won at South Bend! Irish have shot well, and are playing sticky defense allowing just 38% against them. WVU is playing well under coach Huggins, but have played a lean schedule, dropping both games against top teams. Hard to ignore history here and the fact that Notre Dame hasn't lost here in last 28. Giving just a bucket you have to ride the Irish in this one.
