If they remain insanely green hot from the outside 3 ball land, this team is a major tournament force to be reckoned with --- 39% for the season and very hot lately.
They may not go deep in players 7 -- (6 guys average 26-35 and one guy 10)--- and minutes but they have a great balance and play decent defense. They get into the West as a high seed and they many go to Houston.
Notre Dame is experiencing a major resurgence in all athletic men's and women's sports and has left BC in the dust except for Ice Hockey, ----and the past few years ---- even in Hockey, ND will make the 2011 Ice Dance. ND is 8th.
Up and down the NCAA website Notre Dame athletics is like Stanford in all sports for men and women. BC has Gene DeFilippo and the NCAA two signature sports Football and Hoops have suffered.
ND keeps shooting lights out and red hot from 3 ball land, and you can play great perimeter defense but stopping moving and great shooters who are green hot is very tough.
If I was ND, I would save some legs in the Big East Tourney wars and play some subs and bow out after one win --- and try and get the Luck of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
Your two best shooters hit 43% --( that is the norm)---and you take 35+ shots....and you get hot... ND might get to Texas.
