It's likely less about integrity than it is pure arrogance and sense of entitlement she thinks she and ND deserve.
I hope they get crushed in the NCAA's by someone. Maybe by Baylor who she likely thinks of as an upstart usurper even after crushing her in that 2012 game.
BTW, I kinda hate Notre Dame.
Notre Dame is a bit of an enigma to me. Tennessee had them whooped until Holly's poor coaching adjustments, or should I say lack thereof, became a factor. God, what Bill Fennelly could do with her roster. ND looked terrible at Louisville, and then went to FSU and blew a really good FSU team away on their home court.
UConn to me did not look great to start the year, but they sure looked pretty impressive at South Carolina, but they had something to prove since SC won they tourney. UConn struggled dealing with the size/physical nature of Texas, so I think Baylor, Texas, and some of the SEC programs will give them trouble.
My money this year is on Baylor. Has been since the start of the season. I don't think South Carolina has enough weapons. Mississippi State cannot be overlooked, they play so composed, are very humble kids, and Vic Shaffer, is an amazing coach. Don't discount Louisville or Tennessee either. Louisville has one of the best coaches in the business IMO, and Tennessee has some amazing athletes that are dynamite when on, if Holly's pound it to the post mentality doesn't get in the way.
A lot depends on the draw, but a lot of the second tier teams this year could give the top tier teams fits, like Missouri, FSU, West Virginia, tOSU, etc. And Georgia is playing really good ball right now, even though they lost to LSU this week (who has been coming on).
The SEC is really the deep league this year. There are 7 SEC teams in the top 30 of the RPI. What makes me scared, ISU being in the bottom half of the Big 12 this year, is that the Big 12 really isn't that deep this year other than the top 2 teams.
Really don't know what to make of the Pac 12 this year.
