This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'd expect ND to add 2 February games by ShermanOaksND

That weekend of April 14-15 is possible, but ND has kept that slot between Marquette and UNC open the last few years.

By the way, I just learned that in 2019, the ACC will expand its conference tournament to two weekends. The first weekend (where the tournament presently is held), there will be a 5-4 game, with the winner playing the 1 seed and 3 playing 2. The winners of those games will play for the championship the following weekend at the home of the higher-seeded team, on the first weekend in May.

In addition, the Patriot League will be moving its conference tournament back one week to early May. That move, plus the ACC's, mean ND won't be playing Army to finish the regular season anymore. That's too bad, because I was thinking of making a trip to West Point in May 2019.

Unfortunately, this means
