Luke Harangody had 32 points and 17 rebounds, and host Notre Dame shot 54 percent in a 90-57 victory over No. 5 Louisville last night that ended a seven-game losing streak
The Fighting Irish (13-10, 4-7 Big East) improved to 3-7 against ranked opponents and beat Louisville for just the second time in their last 11 meetings. The 33-point victory is the largest ever for Notre Dame against a Big East opponent. It was the second loss in three games for the Cardinals (18-5, 9-2).
"This victory, while humiliating to us, can propel them into something good," Louisville Coach Rick Pitino said. "I'm happy for them. I'm really upset at our players. The way we practiced going into this game and the way we played tonight, our five men were just totally dominated."
The Irish were in control from the start as Louisville made just one of its first 13 shots. Notre Dame made eight of its first 15, going ahead 17-4 when Kyle McAlarney scored on a reverse layup.

Farve to finally retire
Full Text
Favre had instructed his agent, James "Bus" Cook, to inform the Jets on Wednesday that he is retiring. Favre and the Jets both confirmed the retirement in separate conference calls.
"There are several things that went into decision but most importantly, the most important thing, was that physically, you know with my shoulder the last half of the year it hampered the way I played," Favre said. "I'm 39, I had several options [to have surgery] and to let it heal. How that would affect me in terms of playing I had no idea and it wasn't something I was going to risk." Jets owner Woody Johnson said it was Favre's decision to step aside.
"We had an all-encompassing conversation," Johnson said. "He told me
"Mike and Woody, as well as the entire organization, have been nothing short of outstanding," Favre said in the e-mail. "My teammates -- Thomas and Kerry included -- were a pleasure to play with. Eric [Mangini] could not have been any better. I enjoyed playing for him. My time with the Jets was short, but I'm honored to be given that chance."
