Ummmmmmm-can I ask where Artbest is hiding? Because if ANY OTHER team had the season that ND had, we would NEVVVVVVVVVVVER hear the end of it. That horse would've been beaten more than Debbie and Sweet 16 to Vegas.

I swear they put some teams in for sentimental reasons, which could include Notre Dame and Tennessee. I don't approve, but who knows how committee minds work? ~~SMDH~~

There are rules against selecting teams with losing records as at-large entries

Well, looks like when Georgia Tech should have been moving to the top of the ACC next season, they are likely to be at the bottom. They will have good players left if no one else leaves, but you don't lose your four best and expect to win many games in the ACC. Looks like Pan and Fletcher are leaving too. Fortner is not a miracle worker.
Elizabeth Balogun, 2018-19 ACC Freshman of the Year;
Elizabeth Dixon, 2018-19 All-ACC Freshman Team;
Francesca Pan, 2016-17 ACC Freshman of the Year;
Kierra Fletcher, 2017-18 All-ACC Freshman Team.
Balogun and Dixon were McDonald's All-American.
Pan and Fletcher were named to the ACC All-Academic Team the same day (I think) that MaChelle Joseph was put on suspension.
I was so looking forward to next season. I'll still buy season tickets, but . . . .  |
Nell did an incredible job after all. Plus Tech has great talent on the way. |
If they'd waited on Nell's hiring, who knows what she might have done with them. Or at least waited to meet her and see how they got along. But this happens so often. It happened to Nikki McCray at ODU her first season and she had to really scramble to put a team together, but she did a creditable job and has done well since. So will Nell. I have great faith in her. She's a fine coach.

Well, Pan and Fletcher stayed, so it wasn't as bad as I had feared. Pan is graduating, but you are right, the incoming class looks impressive. I'm hoping for a good 20-21 season.
