Jugg seniors, however, have their own need for stadium vindication, having fallen in Flanner football's final game in the 1996 championship. See page 3 to see how both teams look to finish the job.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Irish light up court in 107-96 win over Siena

By KATHLEEN O'BRIEN SportS Writer

The excitement is running high for Notre Dame men's basketball. First-year head coach Matt Doherty has led the Irish to a 2-0 start and the semi­ finals of the Pre-season NIT with a 107-96 - win over Siena last night. "The balance tonight was key because they really couldn't focus on any one play­ er," sophomore forward Troy Murphy said. "They opened it up so much for Harold [Swanagan] and I to operate inside by their three-point shooting and that's what's been winning games for us- their three-point shooting." Murphy, sophomore forward David Graves, senior guard Martin Ingelsby and freshman guard Matt Carroll spread out the offense for Notre Dame, all scoring in double figures. Murphy set the tempo for the Irish early, scoring seven of the first 10 points for the blue and gold to put them up 10-7. The Saints used a full-court press against the Irish, which forced 11 turnovers in the first 11 minutes, keeping the game close. "I was disappointed that we didn't exe­

The Irish took the lead for good with nine minutes remaining in the first half, but senior forward Marcus Faison kept the Saints in the contest. He was the go-to guy for Siena, putting up 13 points and snagging four boards in the first stanza. At halftime, the Irish were ahead 50-41, thanks to nine players scoring in the even Irish attack.
