The University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish were awarded for a fantastic year this evening with a #2 seed in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. While it looked like the Irish would get a #1 seed after Pitt's early exit from the Big East Tournament -- the NCAA Selection Committee gave Pitt a #1 seed (awarding them for their regular season) and apparently moved Duke into a #1 seed after their ACC Tournament win -- bumping the Irish out of that spot. Obviously, ND's loss to Louisville Friday night -- did them in. Oh well, it's just a number in front of your name -- it won't score you any more points or grab you any more rebounds. It's time to play ball -- and the IRISH will get going on Friday night in Chicago against the Akron Zips in the Southwest Region. The #1 seed in the Southwest Region is Kansas. Looks like the Irish were ranked 6th overall -- based on their draw. GO IRISH!
