Irish Obstacles -- Road to the Final Four

For the #2 Seeded Fighting Irish of Notre Dame -- here's what the road to the FINAL FOUR (the first four opponents) -- could look like, if the Top Seeds in the Southwest Region win their games:

1. Round Two:  Akron (23 - 12) -- no common opponents with the Irish
2. Round Three:  Texas A&M (24 - 8) -- no common opponents with the Irish
3. Round Four:  Purdue (25 - 7) -- Indiana State, West Virginia and Wisconsin common opponents with the Irish
4. Round Five:  Kansas (32 - 2) -- no common opponents with the Irish

It won't be easy -- but, it's also not impossible for Notre Dame to make its first FINAL FOUR appearance since 1978!  Game One -- this Friday night against Akron!!!  Here's a link to a story that gives an overview of what's ahead for Notre Dame:
