Nothing really to disagree with, but why do ND hoops peer comparisons always go to the top, instead of to programs that should be more similar to our profile? I just did a search for the most NCAA appearances in the last 15 years, and yes there's the NIL-rich one-and-done factories like Kansas and Duke and Kentucky and UNC and Arizona, but there's also Gonzaga and Purdue and Villanova and Baylor and Iowa State and San Diego State -- all of whom appeared at least 10 times in the last 15 years. Surely we have the resources to achieve similar (with a good coach, obvs).
