It’s been a trying year for Notre Dame Women’s Basketball.
Rebuilds are tough and whether you like it or not, it’s what you get when your five best players from a season ago are playing in the WNBA now.
After a decade of Final Four appearances being the norm, getting even a home victory has become tough as the Irish sit just 6-11 overall and 1-4 in ACC play after getting routed Sunday by No. 9 North Carolina State.
As frustrating as it’s been for fans and players, it’s been that much harder on legendary head coach Muffet McGraw and she let it show after Sunday’s game.
This season has clearly taken its toll on Notre Dame WBB Head Coach Muffet McGraw.
She was asked how difficult it's been and this is her reaction.

An incredibly rare moment to see a coach wear their emotions on their sleeve quite like that, especially one as accomplished as McGraw.
Hopefully this dark season is an exception and things get turned around soon because seeings videos like this much longer will get rather tough to watch.
