2016 Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament: Irish Earn 1-seed, Will Match Up Against North Carolina A&T

As expected, the Notre Dame women's basketball team snagged a one-seed and won't have to travel far in the tournament, but they'll have to navigate through an extremely difficult regional.

The Notre Dame women's basketball team (31-1) will begin its latest quest for an NCAA national championship by first hosting 16th-seeded North Carolina A&T. Assuming the Irish can avoid a monumental upset, they could land in an interesting second-round matchup against their cross-state counterparts, the ninth-seeded Indiana Hoosiers. While the Lady Irish are unquestionably the favorites to make it out of the Lexington Regional, it won't be an easy road.
