Why are you talking about ND having heart when SIU won 2 more games then they did in the dance.

your not an ND fan if you think this years ND bball team was a joke. They overachieved big time, they were picked to finish like 14th in the Big East, and finished 4th. They got a sh1tty draw and drew Winthrop, who was better than an 11 seed really. It was a tough loss, butno shame in it.

Please who cares what experts think will finish where. I thought there were a midpack big east team. They showed zero heart last year with all the sub 5 point losses. This team didn't overachieve that much, who exactly did they beat really. I dont see any top 10 teams in there.

Those close loses had nothing to do with heart, the ball just didn't go there way the entire year.

ND has heart, and if you don't think so your crazy. I was at this years ND vs. Michigan State football game. ND was getting crushed, and everyone was soaked from the downpour of rain. Michigan State fans were leaving because of the weather and how much they were up. Well, when the game was over the stadium was still packed with screaming ND fans like myself. ND fans never lose hope, and the players never did either. That was a special game to be at, and is why I love ND so much.

GO IRISH!!!!

Irish the some was the ball, some was the team. Every time ND loses its not because the ball didn't bounce their way. They missed open shots, ft's etc. i watched that whole ND football game and was cheering the whole game,however michigan state sucks. When is the last time we actually beat a ranked team, Honestly, Michigan spanked ND, USC spanked ND. only so much you can defend.
