Exit, stage (just) right

 Mike Brey coached his one last home game at Notre Dame last night, basked in the love of the faithful one last time, was blessed by the saints or some other celestial beings with one last W.

Final score at Purcell Pavilion: Notre Dame 88, Pittsburgh 81, Brey 315 (home wins in 23 years).

The man has been everything Notre Dame embodies or fancies it embodies for almost a quarter century, and he stayed in character to the end. Mindful that it was also Notre Dame's last home game of the season, here's what he had to say: "It was neat for our seniors to finish like that."

So his first thought on this last night was for his players.

As usual.
