QUOTING CLARK Notre Dame head coach Bobby Clark shares his thoughts on the Connecticut match UConn has gotten off to a fantastic start this season. They are a legitimate No. 1 team in the country and that s great for the BIG EAST. They ll come into this game as a favorite, but at the same time it s an opportunity for us to stake a claim to being in the top echelon of this year s college teams.
