Notre Dame plays in the toughest conference in America, won 25 games this year, and took #2 seed Duke down to the wire last night in the ACC title game. So of course the Irish were screwed over by the Selection Committee with a low #5 seed given their resume. The Irish, who had the 3rd best ACC record, and went to the conference title game are the 5th highest ranked ACC team in the tournament because, you know, that makes sense right?
Heading into Sunday, Notre Dame’s run through the ACC Tournament had the Irish projected as a #3 seed by ESPN’s Bracketology.
