Hottest team in America? Nope, there's plenty hotter. ND just doesn't suck anymore, so they look pretty good.athlete37;1093162 wrote:Hottest. Team. In. America.

I see your point. As far as close games go though, Kentucky was down 7 with 6 minutes left on the road last night. Not arguing with your other pointsLaley23;1093182 wrote:I dont know how anyone could say someone is hotter than Kentucky. UK hasnt lost since IU beat them in early December. They also have had about zero close games since then.

Not exactly murderers row, and definitely not just WVU outside the RPI top 30.
Rutgers (157), Depaul (191), Villanova (111)

lol--reps....I like the way ND is playing, but the lack of conference strength may hurt them beyond the SS. Brey has to be Big East COTY.sportswizuhrd;1093174 wrote:8. Other. Teams. In. America. Have. A. Current. Winning. Streak. Longer. Than. Notre Dame.
ND. Is. Tied. With. 2. Other. Teams.

Guessing he means they wont be battle tested. But for the seed they are going to get, Id assume that will take place in the RD of 32 barring upsets or playing a mid-major who gets a high seed.karen lotz;1093207 wrote:How will conference strength hurt them in the sweet 16 exactly?
Their odds do increase of winning the national championship if they get Portland State, UNLV, Villanova, Davidson, North Carolina, and Memphis though. So you always got that (pipe dream) going for ya.karen lotz;1093210 wrote:Thanks. I'd actually be surprised if they did make it considering their recent tourney history. Vball suggested it so I was asking for his reasoning. Their odds do increase of moving on if Northern Iowa isn't in their region.

Yes, this is what I was referring to. I think they're good enough to get to the SS (depending, obviously, on where they're seeded and in what region), but I'm just not sold on the overall strength of the Big East in preparing ND to go beyond that. I know that this doesn't answer your question 'exactly', but it's all I got.Laley23;1093219 wrote:Guessing he means they wont be battle tested...
