Best case ND is 500 going into the ACC tournament. They will be underdogs in their 1st game against a team like Duke which could still put them below 500. If they manage to leave the ACC tournament with a 500 record they are still undeserving of an at large NCAA birth based on their overall rating, having few good wins and several bad losses. Their RPI will also hurt their case.
They are currently 5-7 with three games to play (Pitt, Marquette, Louisville) Plus the ACC Tournament. If somehow they are .500 I really hope the selection committee does not offer them an at large bid. Normally, I would not have a problem with ND getting in with a .500 record but after the nonsense they just pulled I really hope they do not make the tournament. It was bad enough to add the game but then to go on and beat the team that is helping you 27 - 2 is just not right. Don't be surprised to see ND follow Duke's lead going forward.
Classless!
I agree, classless! Hope they feel good and pumped up now. Ridiculous.
and if any of you were the head coach of ND or any team in a similar position you would do the exact same thing
That's just uninformed. Go watch the mens UVA vs Cuse game from this year. Even thou the game got chippy when it was clear that UVA had the game won they held the ball on offense and rolled the ball into the corner at the end of the shot clock instead trying to run up the score on multiple offensive possession's . That was in a relatively competitive game putting up 27 against a team who is completely over matched is an embarrassment for the coaches and players.
