This is how Brey views his team

When in college, he did a dorm visit (by the way, Mike Brey is just the best guy, very funny, personable-He's going to be great on TV whenever he feels like hanging his coaching mock turtleneck up), and I asked him a question very similar to this-basically, how do you compete with the Syracuses and UConns of the world, since you, obviously, cannot take in a rental player from Baltimore.

He said that he views the way he builds his team as closer to Butler than UConn. Take in a few good players, build them up, get them ingrained in the system, and then turn them into an actual team.

Now, why do other pro-chemistry teams make it further in the tournament than Notre Dame, I don't have an answer for that. And it kills me.
