NCAA SELECTION SUNDAY -- 6 PM ET on CBS


Notre Dame fans will want to tune-in today to the SELECTION SUNDAY SHOW -- as the NCAA Tournament field will be announced at 6 PM ET on CBS.

Big questions:
  • Will Notre Dame be a #2 or #3 seed?
  • Who will Notre Dame play in their first two games?
  • And, where with the IRISH play?

Now, I must say I'm not crazy about ESPN's Joe Lunardi's latest BRACKETOLOGY -- it has Notre Dame facing Michigan State in the 2nd round -- no one wants a piece of Tom Izzo this early in the tournament...

Can You Believe It -- ACC CHAMPS !!!


Wow...

Never been so proud of a Notre Dame team in a long, long time.

The team no one gave a chance (ESPN) these last two nights -- beats DUKE and NORTH CAROLINA in their backyard -- winning the first ever Conference Tournament Championship in the 110 year history of Notre Dame men's basketball!!!

Now, I must admit when we were down 9 points in the second half -- I didn't think we'd be celebrating a win -- but, how good was that 24 - 2 RUN that QUIETED that Carolina crowd!

We'll be the best #3 Seed in the NCAA Tournament -- come get some!!!
