Is Notre Dame going to be considered the "highest" #3 seed? I've been wanting them to get a #2 seed because I really don't want them in UK's region. I also don't want them to potentially face MSU in the 2nd round.

So if Notre Dame is the "highest" #3 seed, does that mean they are put in a "lower" #1 seed's region (Nova, Arizona, Gonzaga)? If so, then a #3 seed is completely fine with me

Its all about geography. It doesn't matter about what number 3 seed we are its just about geography that's why they had Wisconsin in kentukys bracket for such a long time

Ya, this. Unfortunately, there is really no S-Curve involved. It's all geography. I really would love to snag the final 2 seed (and head to West bracket) than be stuck in the Midwest with Kentucky.

I really could care less where we play also....we seem to fair just fine away from home.

My hope is ISU is higher on the S Curve than we are and they get the midwest 3 seed.

It doesn't look like winning the ACC tournament meant jack shit.

I would love the matchup with kansas and if we won that the matchup against Kentucky would be awesome to watch. To be the best you gotta beat the best right

Every year Notre Dame gets a draw that is terrible for the strengths of the team. It's like the year ND was a 2 seed and everyone knew FSU would be a nightmare mismatch for ND in the second round. Or the year ND was a 6 seed having to play Winthrop who was everyone's sleeper.

I like Kansas as a matchup, though I doubt they get by Wichita State if they get to the second round. But it's just piss-poor luck to be in Kentucky's bracket and doubly piss-poor to have to play in-state Butler potentially in round 2 who traditionally saves their A game for March.

Would ND have been better served if they lost in the ACC tournament?

Absolutely hilarious how much of an easier road 10-loss Oklahoma got to the final four.
