Notre Dame would be a touch matchup IMO

[philstat]

They are a dangerous team, definitely could get really hot in the tourney.

A team that plays no defense like that has no chance to make a Final Four. Color me not worried.

If ND were in the SEC they'd have the fourth worst defense ahead of Tenn, Mizz, and Auburn.

But what about all the touching?

ND is a good team but we OWE them a big one in big way. Our guys will be ready.

Play no defense, play 4 guards if I recall right - means we own them on the boards. Would love to see ND. Same thing with Gonzaga. Or IU. None of those Hal Mumme school of defense teams scare me at all....

I'm not too convinced of that. We OWN them. We had won 10 straight before they won 2 out of 3. Their 2 W's were against UK teams that weren't typical. Both teams went to the NIT.

I think OP is just touching with us.

I'm sorry- I just don't see any college team out there that is a bad matchup for us. Their may be a handful that on a given night may be able to beat us (ND is not one of them), but as far as a bad matchup? Those don't exist this season. We ARE the bad matchup for everyone in college basketball.

Notre Dame is a team that could beat us on any given night if they are shooting lights out.

Like others, I think teams that slow it down and play outstanding D are more likely to challenge us though.
