ND hoops is on its way back!
THIS is where I'd invest our basketball resources.
We can't spend nearly as much NIL as the Big Boy Men's basketball powers.
Our women can fill the arena and get TV time.
Our men are unwatchable.

I’m all for their success and getting whatever they’re able…
…as I am for all Irish sports teams and athletes.
However…really no interest in watching…unless maybe a championship game.
Exactly.

Can I assume you have no daughters?

Nope...you cannot...
My daughter is an excellent athlete and I strongly supported her at all times in multiple sports through high school, Enjoyed it immensely...just the same as watching and supporting my sons.
Doesn't make me enjoy watching women's basketball for any length of time. Just being honest...
As an alum, I support all our athletes and find women's basketball and soccer immensely entertaining
AND I find the NBA tendentiously tedious.
As an alum, I also support all our athletes. I think I have made that clear.
Glad you enjoy women’s basketball and soccer. I do not particularly. I don’t much care for Men’s soccer generally save for World Cup.
I gave up on the NBA long, long ago. Occasionally watch later playoff games where defense is at least attempted at times.
I am watching the Knicks…but that is a vestige of my youth when I did love the sport.
With more sports programming than ever, we simply can’t watch everything.
I root for all ND sports, Steelers, Penguins, Pirates, and Pitt.
But you can’t watch everything. I am grateful for highlights.
Looking forward to watching ND LAX.
Man are we on the same page regarding these things. Ahh the Knicks of 1969-1972. Team play was
awesome. Big men ng up and not taking threes. Movement of players and the ball awesome. No superstars needed although Walt Frazier was actually one. No selfishness,
We certainly are. I could have written that…and almost did.

Same with me I loved all their sporting events. As I think back to their sporting events i was never
bored. As I look at women's sports now, very hard to get excited by them. The shots that hit under the rim. the wild shots that hit nothing or the top of the backboard, the reliance on the three point shot, the inability to finish layups, well, tough to watch. Of course along with the bullshit wokeness which is such a huge part. Why do you think the whole WNBA is jealous of Caitlyn Clark when she is personally saving that league?
