Hey, I’m here and thanks for submitting all the questions and thanks for all your support.

Patricia from [166.72.155.48], at 11:01am ET
Did you find your tooth after the Boston College game?
notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:02am ET
My tooth is fine. I had to go the dentist yesterday. The dentist bonded it together. Casey Hickey from [206.25.237.51], at 11:03am ET
What did you think of the game and your game-winning shot against the eagles? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:03am ET
It was a very exciting moment but we still had three seconds left on the clock and I knew we had to get a big defensive stop to win the game. Billy Dieckhaus from [146.186.20.102], at 11:03am ET
Mart,
Any old school Carroll vs. Roman trash talking going on in that game last week with “The Hall” between you and Eddie Griffin? Also, how come you couldn’t convince Bartosz “Tosz” Kuzniarz to come play ball with you at Notre Dame?
notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:04am ET
Billy – What’s up? There was no trash talking going on in the Seton Hall game. I haven’t heard from Bart in a long time. Irish99 from [66.26.247.190], at 11:04am ET
Great shot against BC, Martin. I know you’re focused on the games ahead, but have you given any thought about what you might like to do after you graduate? Quite a few people would love to see you back on the Irish bench someday.

By the way, how’s your mouth? Did you ever find that tooth?

notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:05am ET
I am considering going into coaching or possibly trying to play oversees. ed john from [155.91.6.40], at 11:06am ET
Martin,
Your cousin Mike said that you chose ND over Duke because of ND’s letter head. Is that true? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:07am ET
Notre Dame’s letterhead just stuck out from all the others. Shonus from [208.246.207.2], at 11:07am ET
Hey Martin,

Great shot the other night!! That was a clutch win! Cousin Mike and I were curious as to how important it is to you to get seeded in the east for a possible regional game in hometown Philadelphia, Pa? Keep dishin’ the rock! Love ya!! notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:08am ET
Hi Mike and Scott – It would be important to get a game on the East Coast just because that is where a lot of our players are from. We are just worried about getting in right now. Moira from [206.140.233.239], at 11:09am ET
What’s written on your shoes? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:10am ET
I used to write stuff on my shoes in the beginning of the year. Now, I don’t write anything. Warren from [209.150.222.18], at 11:10am ET
Martin, I hear that you really wanted to play out West because you love going to the Mountains so much. Is that true? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:11am ET
Warren – If we go out West to the mountains, I am sure that I will see you there. Big from [152.163.207.81], at 11:11am ET
hey martin, great game Wednesday!!! Is the feeling around the locker room that you guys are the team to beat? Do you feel you have solidified NCAA tournament bid? Does this game change the mentality of the club? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:12am ET
The guys around the locker room feel confident with the way are playing. No we don’t feel that we have solidified a NCAA berth. Matty from [129.74.84.116], at 11:13am ET
Moose, it’s Matt I’m in stats class right now…how’s the tooth notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:13am ET
Matt – What’s up kid? The tooth is fine and I am waiting for some of your loving. philip from [172.153.227.232], at 11:14am ET
Martin what would u say whould be your favorite basketball moment you have had at Norte Dame notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:14am ET
My biggest thrill was hitting the game winning shot against BC and also leading this team to the NCAA tournament. Andy from [65.7.94.238], at 11:15am ET

On the subject of the student/athlete(or lack of student in the equation)why aren’t you in class, Martin? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:16am ET
I am a senior and I don’t have classes on Friday. Irish Fan from [206.99.186.31], at 11:16am ET
Martin,
Honestly, were your eyes open or closed when you let go of that shot against B.C.? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:17am ET
I saw an opening and just threw the ball up there and prayed that it went in. pookie from [65.1.216.188], at 11:17am ET
Mike made you his guy from day one. How has his confidence in you helped your play. notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:18am ET
He gave me a lot of confidence and told me that this was my team to run. who cares from [209.180.141.209], at 11:19am ET
Hey Martin,
Who do u think the best player in tha nation besides u notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:19am ET
I would definitely say that Troy Murphy is the best player in the country because of what he brings to the court day in and day out. Jason from [4.54.23.174], at 11:20am ET
I am from South Philly so i am very familar with Mike’s stlye of coaching from Univ of De. Do you feel that mike has taken the ND program to another level? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:20am ET
The style of play that Coach Brey brings to ND is well suited for the type of players that we have. Dan from [209.43.6.239], at 11:21am ET
martin, how much of a difference has ryan humphrey made for you guys this year? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:22am ET
Humphrey has made a significant difference to our team this year. He brings a level of the athleticism that we haven’t had for a long time. ndnyc from [199.170.123.74], at 11:23am ET
Martin-

who is the toughest guard to bring the ball up against in the Big East…..I know Linehan is tough (but ND hasn’t played PC this year)…… notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:23am ET
The hardest guard to bring the ball up against is Andre Barrett from Seton Hall. I have played against Linehan and he is definitely a great defensive player. simsp911 from [199.8.104.187], at 11:24am ET
Do you live in the dorms? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:25am ET
As a senior, I opted to live off-campus with a bunch of my roommates. I use to live in Fisher. shane from [63.22.8.229], at 11:25am ET
what kind of seed do you guys think you will recieve in the tournament martin?

My favorite kind of gum is Big Red. Bernie likes Teaberry. Casey Hickey from [206.25.237.51], at 11:30am ET
Hey Martin,
Do you think you have enough to make it all the way this year? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:31am ET
I think that if our team plays the way we are capable of then we will be a very hard team to beat. Doug from [64.1.88.194], at 11:31am ET
Was the play at the end of the BC game designed to go to you? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:32am ET
The play was designed to get the ball inside to Murphy or Humphrey but BC did a great job of taking them away. I saw a lane and decided to drive it. Andy from [65.7.94.238], at 11:33am ET
What is the difference between this yrs team and last yrs. team notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:33am ET
This team is very close on and off the court. As you can see from our games, we are having a lot of fun out there. D-NICE from [206.99.186.31], at 11:35am ET
Martin,
Who on the team, besides yourself, have you seen step up his game as the season’s gone on? notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:36am ET
Matt Carroll has really stepped up and played well on both ends of the court. notredame.gifMartin Ingelsby at 11:38am ET
