I do think that the Selection Committee will try to take into account the geographic placement that ND suffered last year when all is said and done. The biggest thing missing from the Irish resume at this point is a really quality road win -- beating Louisville on the 28th would certainly qualify, and would push them into the 2-3 range assuming no bad losses between now and Selection Sunday. |
Interesting. I think the Irish would have to make a deep run in the Big East Tournament to earn a #2 seed, but a #3 seed would seem to be within reach if they finish off this run aginst quality opponents.
That being said, tonight's game is huge. Pitt has a win over Duke on a neutral court. Granted that was with their starting point guard, but it still makes Pitt look good. A win tonight is a must have if the Irish want that #3 seed.
I'd like to see them stay out of the Memphis part of the bracket. Regardless of what happens Saturday night, I think Memphis has to be the odd on favorite to win the tournament this season. Any dreams of a Final Four run would be hampered by a seeding in their part of the bracket.
