Notre Dame's a #1 Seed in NCAA Tournament



AGAIN!

Muffet's Fighting Irish have been to FIVE STRAIGHT FINAL FOURS -- can they make it SIX!!!

Here's Notre Dame's path -- assuming the TOP SEEDS win their respective games -- to a Final Four trip to Indianapolis:
  1.  North Carolina A & T  19 - 11
  2.  Georgia  21 - 9
  3.  Stanford  24 - 7
  4.  Maryland  30 - 3

The wild card will be the #4 seeded Kentucky Wildcats -- who could play "four home games" -- on their way to the FINAL FOUR in the same Region as Notre Dame.

#6 Seed Notre Dame to Play Michigan or Tulsa


Mike Brey's Fighting Irish were given a #6 seed in the 2016 NCAA Tournament and will play the winner of the "play-in game" between Michigan vs Tulsa game -- this Friday in Brooklyn, NY -- in the East Region.

Since 1985 when the NCAA expanded to 64 teams -- #6 SEEDS have made it to the FINAL FOUR only SIX TIMES.  Let's make it SEVEN!

FYI:  Notre Dame has not played Michigan in basketball since 2006 -- an 87 - 84 loss to the Wolverines in Ann Arbor.

GO IRISH!
