It was a disappointing finish for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the ACC Tournament as they allowed North Carolina to pull away late, but you still figured the Irish would be a Top 16 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Going into that game, some even had the Irish as a top 8 team which would have meant hosting a super regional — something they got hosed out of last season.
What happened, however, was a typical NCAA screw job. Tim Prister has said it several times and he’s right... this team probably wasn’t worthy of a top 8 spot, but they absolutely should be a top 16 squad and hosting a regional pod.
