As the old saying goes, if you come at the king, you best not miss.
The 1978 win over DePaul to reach the Final Four … missed. And badly.
My thanks to everyone who participated in our little COVID distraction here. Hopefully sometime in the next couple seasons we’ll get a win or two that will make this discussion necessary again.
In the meantime, we look forward to the three-game series with Kentucky and the Irish defending their title in Maui, while mourning the loss of Bob Whitmore, a pioneer for the Fighting Irish program.
