So who CAN we beat, if we’re scared of mid majors or the worst team in the Big East?
I would not schedule games against mid-major teams that will win their league or are projected to be at or near the top. Play the weak in mid-major leagues or play teams from P5 conferences.
 
Maybe we should only schedule teams that we have historically dominated like Colgate, St Bonaventure and Buffalo.



Oh wait...
They ain't cupcakes anymore.
 
Bryant is one of best 3 point shooting teams in the country. This is the truest test of if we’ll see any more man D this year. We all think that ship has sailed. If they start going Colgate on us and he doesn’t switch.....my Jones switch is activated.

It’s a good way to inflate your metrics come selection Sunday. We got in the tournament a couple years ago because of it.

Not that we have to worry about selection Sunday this year
 
Bonnies 63 ND 51, yea, they're cupcakes.

Prior to 2016 we were never seeded below an 8. Since then we have only been double digit seeds.
The Patriot league has had one single digit seed, a 9 back in 2009. The entire Patriot league has won a combined total of 3 NCAA Tournament games just to give you an idea of strong teams like Colgate really are.
The cupcakes are still cupcakes and we are at risk of becoming one too.
In the not too distant past ND seldom beat us. Look at our recent records.

Doesn’t the Patriot league generally play at least a top 8 seed in the NCAA first round?
