All Is Not Lost – Big East Tourney Awaits

We all know that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team lost a huge home game to Villanova recently. We know that the loss probably means the Irish won’t have a chance at getting an at-large bid to the tournament, because they won’t have a winning conference record. But why all the tears, Irish fans? This is the month of March, the month of Miracles and Madness. The fact is, there’s a perfectly reasonable way for the Irish to get back to the NCAA Tournament this year—by winning the Big East Tournament.

The Irish can star by beating the St. John’s Red Storm in their last regular season game. Then, the Irish will have to win out through the Big East Tournament to seal the auto bid from arguably the best conference in college basketball. Sounds difficult, but then difficult too was the task before one fictional NASCAR legend Ricky Bobby. Needless to say, difficulty doesn’t mean impossibility. Let’s get out to the Big East Tourney to support the Irish!
