I just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate the Notre Dame men's basketball team and Notre Dame student body for restraining themselves during the home game against West Virginia on Sunday. Considering the events which occurred last year against Connecticut and Miami, this could have been an extremely ugly incident had the students escalated their behavior to that of Mountaineer center Chris Moss. Mr. Moss may have some personal problems off the court but in no way does that give him a legitimate excuse for stepping on Jere Macura's face, elbowing Troy Murphy or spitting on Notre Dame cheerleaders and students. One can only hope that Mr. Moss is suspended for the Feb. 11 game against Notre Dame in Morgantown in order to avoid further confrontation or maybe not, he finished with three points and five fouls.
