It’s Sweet Sixteen time for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the 15 other teams left in the NCAA Tournament. The Irish did something truly incredible to get here with that curb-stomping of the #4 seed Oklahoma Sooners, but it doesn’t get any easier as the Irish face #1 seed NC State Wolfpack.
The Irish only faced their fellow ACC member one time this season. That game was a 69-66 stunner in South Bend that saw the Irish take down the then #3 ranked Wolfpack despite a poor day of shooting.
