Well folks, for the sixth time in seven seasons, another March Madness period has come and gone with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team sitting at home watching instead of participating. With the Irish in rebuilding mode following the downturn for the program in the final Mike Brey years, head coach Micah Shrewsberry continues to do his best to right the ship as quickly as possible.
And with UConn, Alabama, Purdue, and NC State all advancing to the Final Four this coming weekend, ND fans are certainly wistfully looking back on the golden years of the Brey era and wondering if their team is on the right track, and hopefully eventually headed toward being able to compete with teams like the above for the ultimate NCAA hoops prize.
