Hmm. Last I checked, all three of Tennessee, UNC, and Notre Dame reached the Sweet 16 last year. I'll grant that Duke's trajectory under Lawson has been a little slower than many anticipated, but I'm not sure the others are faring any less well than the Domers. Not to mention: Notre Dame is a few years out from back to back trips to the finals, whereas none of the other three have been there in over a decade. Yes, Niele inherited little more than the wind from Muffet, but the culture of winning at Notre Dame has been much more established in recent seasons, and so it figures the rebuild would be faster, too.
