Notre Dame didn’t have a good week after falling to Virginia Tech on Thursday and then having a handful of other bubble teams play well early on. Where does that leave the Irish as we hit the weekend?
USA TODAY has their updated bracket projections out on Saturday morning and the good news is the Irish are in their field of 68. However, they are by the skin of their teeth as one of the last four in the updated projection.
Virginia Tech beating North Carolina didn’t do Notre Dame any favors last night as the Hokies now meet Duke in the ACC Tournament final. Texas A&M reaching the semi-finals of the SEC Tournament should turn the Irish into big Arkansas fans today.
Oklahoma falling to Texas Tech should be beneficial for the Irish after the last few days that haven’t gone according to plan.
A week that started with Notre Dame thinking they may be as high as a nine-seed now sees them perhaps heading to Dayton for the First Four. Stay tuned…
