Bingo!

So ND was boys versus men when they played Indiana State and North Dakota State? How about Virginia, where the recruiting rankings for their players mirror ND’s and their experience level was also very comparable (they had in their starting line up a frosh PG and soph center). How about Wake Forest and their 3 star recruits- case in point, Vasturia was the higher ranked prospect than his HS team mate Overton at WF. Miami lost 90% of their scoring off last years team and was averaging 60 ppg when they played ND (which put them about 345th in the country at the time), they put up 74 points versus ND’s swiss cheese defense. In the NC State game, ND faced 4 freshman who played between 13 and 23 minutes (75 minutes total and a soph PG who played 17 minutes and looked like Ollie from Hoosiers.

In the ACC, I can buy the boys to men comment in games versus Duke, Cuse, UNC, and next season Ville- beyond that you sound like Brey or Noie with that tired cliche.

15 teams, not 14: Maryland out, Louisville in.

He’s had some very good results when you least expect it. Then down years when it’s least expected. ND is giving MB a pass due to his prior success and the graduation rate of his players. Too I believe his players seem to really like MB. That said the ND BB program has lost any prestige (in recent years) it had. Just look at the top 150 high school BB players and where they have committed. Study the commitment list and you will see other (lesser) universities moving up the ladder. I don’t believe anyone (fans) expect ND BB to be Duke, NC, or, other top 15. However you have to be able to recruit a player or two from the top players in the country (somewhere on that list). MB goes to his own beat and maybe next year will be better. It’s seems from watching that the coach has lost his passion for the game. Regardless MB is certainly NOT the long term answer for ND BB. A repeat of this season would most likely find MB resigning and working in some other capacity at ND. The AD certainly must have his eyes on several programs. Just look at UVA and their success the past two years. I like the VCU coach and think he would really turn the program around. The BB job is much more of a plumb job today since joining the ACC. Time will tell!

I’m OK with that. Take a look at the physical appearance of the top teams’ best players…we are boys among men…Those guys at the top basketball schools are clearly NOT student athletes. I wouldn’t WANT to cheer for some thug at ND. Our guys are student athletes, and if they don’t make the grades, that have to leave.

Don’t forget, with Grant they lost to Indiana State and North Dakota State.

They lost Jerian Grant. Does anyone think that they would finished outside of the top five if they had grant?They lost their leading scorer. They lost a lot of close games. Grant would’ve been the difference. Granquist easily the difference between 15 and 15 and 20 and 10

Yet we have the same staff for next year. His latest recruit is a guy who we beat out Boston College for, who is not ranked highly by anyone.If he can’t get his kids to play, defense, and can’t recruit better, how will things ever change? I doubt a summer trip to Italy is the answer.
