ND is a 3 seed. His 2 seeds are Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Kansas and Arizona. Does any one think ND can jump any of those 2 seeds and still not win the ACC tournament? Is it crazy to have two ACC teams as one seeds?
 
Do not like his latest projections at all. Not one bit. #3 seed in the region with Kentucky and Wisconsin, no thank you. Irish have no chance of toppling either of those teams. Hopefully they get sent out West.
 
ND wins tonight they are locked in for the 3 seed. IF they can beat Duke they get a lock # 2 . Grant and Jackson need to dominate the backcourt .They have great supporting cast but those 2 IMO determine the outcome .
 
A 3-seed should be a lock now. I'm hoping for the Louisville region. ND usually gets screwed by the committee. I guarantee they'll stick ND in the Kentucky region.
 
I think, absent a blowout loss to Duke, a 3 seed is a lock. Even then, it looks likely. ND, despite abundance of cupcake games, has a very nice resume. Fortunately there are some other Midwest teams on the 3 seed line so we might miss the Kentucky region. I am among the few who do not believe Wisconsin and Kentucky will be placed in the same bracket. History says they will, but equity says no. Of course if Nova loses, Wisky could be a 1. As to ND on the two line, unless Kansas loses to Baylor, there are simply no spots at the Inn. Zags, Zona, and Wisconsin are 2s. Jayhawks probably there as well. I think this is the rare case where our fate is sealed.

If we're in the region with Kentucky, that means ND as a 3-seed wouldn't meet the Wildcats until the Elite Eight. If that's getting "screwed", then I'll take it.
 
Let's say ND wins the ACC tournament and knocks out both Duke and Virginia along the way, which by all accounts both of those teams are one seeds. Does ND move up to a 1 seed in say the East region? IMO, if ND wins the ACC I don't see how they can not be a 1 seed. I know that is also a tall order, but one can dream.

In the meantime, GO IRISH!

If anyone other than Kentucky is going to win the championship they are going to have to beat Kentucky, might as well do it in the elite 8.
