Haven't we said over and over on here that one tournament and game doesn't make a season in regards to conference strength, etc? Why are we all of sudden acting like Notre Dame was the far superior team all year long? Had ISU been in the position it is certainly possible they could have played well and given Kentucky a run for it. They also could have played poorly and got run out of the gym. Notre Dame was extremely close to losing their first (and second) round games and sitting at home like ISU. Notre Dame played really, really well last night, something this ISU team was capable of playing like. Please don't let one game affect your perception of what this team was capable of.
