How Notre Dame Secures an ACC "Double Bye"
Here's what we'll know about Notre Dame's ACC Tournament schedule somewhere between 4 PM ET and 10:30 PM ET Saturday night:
Beat Louisville -- the Fighting Irish will finish in either a tie for first with North Carolina (if they lose to Duke) -- or, finish all alone in 2nd place. Notre Dame earns a double-bye!
Lose to Louisville -- for the Irish to earn a double-bye, one of these things need to happen:
- Miami beats Florida State -- Irish earn a double-bye
- North Carolina beats Duke -- Irish earn a double-bye
If Louisville, Florida State and Duke win tomorrow -- the Fighting Irish lose out on the ACC tie-breaker formula (ND will have one more loss in their overall record then the other three teams) -- and will end up the #5 seed...
