The game with UCONN should push the winner into the top 15. Stewart Mandel of SI did his bracket prediction today, and he had Notre Dame as a #4 Seed.

If ND can beat UConn, and with a little help from Nova tonight, They have a chance at being the number 1 in the BE going into the tourny. The only real threats for losses are pitt(at home so thats a W) at Louisville(will be a tough game), and 'Cuse at home. IMO we can win the rest of the conference games.

only up to 18 in the coaches and 20 in the AP. Are we ever going to get any respect????????

Never. I love how Drake is sitting pretty at 14th. They so deserve to be there. That and Uconn and Kansas State ranked in front of us and we beat them both. Hmmm.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

speechless. that is really all i can say

good thing in college BBall you have the chance to prove yourself....we are slowing earning more respect with each win.

 

[Sureal]

The Big East has 5 teams in the top 25.

No question the Big East is one of the top two conferences in the country. Hands down.

 

[PADOMERNUT]

without a doubt, i just find it hard to believe that the 2nd place team isnt ranked higher than 20th

Amen. I don't feel insulted by the current (pre-UConn 2'13'2008). The fact is that, leading up to this month, ND played a largely pansy pre-conference schedule, and got REAMED by GTown and Marquette (the first time around). The polsters rightly treated ND as suspect. tomorrow night can change all that, or it will confirm the early skeptics, myself included.

They BADLY need a road win over a ranked opponent that people respect. UConn is that game. So will Pitt be. And, given what Louisbvile just did to GToen, so will they. THESE are the games we have to learn to measure ND by. NOT Seton Hall, Long Island U, Monmouth, IUPUI and the bushers like that.

Duke > Memphis

pitt is at home but i agree with what you are saying

WTF does IUPUI stand for anyway?
