Although it is funny that there is so much hate for a team that was picked somewhere around 13th in the conference preseason polls. Add in the qualifiers as to why ND's win over syracuse was bad and osu's was great and it brings the lulz for sure.
Notre Dame over achieved greatly ths year. They weren't a threat to make a run in the tourney at any point. OSU finally lived up to preseason expectations and has made a great run.
So much hate for ND basketball? I'll give you football. No one cares about ND basketball. I agree, this ND team did overachieve, no question about that.
OSU "finally" lived up to expectations? The won the regular season title in the toughest conference in the country. I can only speak for myself, but I said early on this team would lose 4-6 games this season. Expectations went thru the roof early with big wins. As I have said, the reality with this team is they were not as good as they looked early, not near as bad as they looked vs MSU in home loss. Thats usually the case in a long season.
Again, ND deserves credit for a fine season no one expected. I am not a Brey fan at all, but he deserves credit for this teams success.
