As SB Nation’s Rivalry Week extravaganza has expanded into its second week of prominence (more like Rivalry WEEKS, amiright???), I figured it was time for me to leap headlong into the fray and quickly chime in on a really good basketball rivalry article (and comment section discussion) that my esteemed colleague Matt Greene produced for us last week.
In his article, Matt attempts to tackle the very difficult question of whether the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team has any true rivals these days. He looked into some historical rivals like UCLA and Depaul and Marquette, as well as some more current potential rivals from Big East/ACC play like Syracuse and Louisville.
