Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 2625027, member: 961"] Back to the original post's premise, with which i am just catching up. I drove all the way from Phoenix to Denver a few years ago in a rental car with no cruise control just to see Notre Dame take UConn down. One of the real disappointments in my years of watching college basketball. So I have no love for ND. But let's be fair: Yes, they get ranked higher than they should some years (this is probably one of them). But this year's team, having lost four major players to injury, is special. Muffet's coaching job this year may be one of the best around, given what she had to work with by the time all the injuries happened. This is a team with a great, if unpleasant, back story. The farther they go in the tournament, the more that story will be told. For sure, ESPN loves this team, and lots of fans will, because of the adversity they've played through. [/QUOTE]
