This has to be the year they make the finals and beat UConn, right? Please happen.

I still think its total bullshit that a 10 loss team that didn't win their conference is about to potentially play four home games in the NCAA tournament. UK should've been shipped out to Oklahoma City.
The Lexington region as a whole is alright. Besides Notre Dame, the other decent to good teams are Stanford, Texas, Kentucky, and Ohio State. Ohio State has a really good player in Kelsey Mitchell; I don't know much about the other teams. The Irish girls seemed to be peaking at the right time in the ACC tournament so lets hope that continues this weekend.

Irish Rewarded With Top Seed; Play Host to NCAAs :: Notre Dame Women's Basketball :: UND.COM :: The Official Site of Notre Dame Athletics

NOTRE DAME, Ind. - For the 12th time overall and the fourth year in a row, Notre Dame will play host to the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. The Irish have earned one of the four coveted No. 1-seeds and will open play at 7:30 on Friday, March 17 against No. 16-seed Robert Morris at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center. The game will be part of a doubleheader with No. 8-seed Green Bay facing No. 9-seed Purdue at 5 p.m. with the winners to face off in the second round on Sunday, March 19 at a time to be announced. Both games on Friday will air on ESPN2.
Tickets are now available at UND.com/BuyTickets.

Starting at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday morning, they can also be purchased either over the phone at (574) 631-7356 or in person during regular business hours at the Murnane Family Ticket Office in the front lobby of Purcell Pavilion.
If you have already purchased tickets, or are planning to buy them in person, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday is an ideal time to pick them up as Notre Dame's coaches and players will be manning the windows of the Irish ticket office while pizza and refreshments will be available in the lobby.
Notre Dame (30-3, 15-1 ACC) is a tournament top-seed for the seventh time and the sixth year in a row. The Irish are 27-5 all-time when playing as a No. 1 seed, including its run to the 2001 national championship. The Irish held a top seed for four years out of their recent run of five consecutive Final Fours from 2011-15.
The Irish are 16-2 during NCAA play at Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center, including wins in each of their last 10 contests. The facility first welcomed the event in 1983 as a neutral site host and is seeing NCAA Championship action involving the Irish for the 11th time since 1994. Notre Dame is 53-22 in its NCAA history as the Irish embark on their 24th appearance and 22nd in a row -- the fifth-longest streak in NCAA history. The 53 NCAA Championship wins are seventh-most in the nation while Notre Dame's seven Final Four berths are the fifth-most of any school.
Robert Morris earned an automatic bid as the champion of the Northeast Conference. The Colonials won the NEC for the second consecutive year after going 22-10 and 14-4 in the league. Notre Dame also faced Robert Morris in the first round of the 2014 NCAA Championship, claiming a 93-42 win on the neutral floor of Toledo's Savage Arena.
Green Bay is in the tournament as the champions of the Horizon League. The Phoenix posted a 27-5 regular season record and 15-3 in the conference. The Irish and Phoenix played earlier this year with Notre Dame taking a tight, 71-67, win in the Preseason WNIT semifinals. Notre Dame leads the all-time series, 2-1.
Purdue earned an at-large bid out of the Big Ten Conference thanks to a 22-12 record and 10-6 mark in league play. The Boliermakers fell in the Big Ten title game to Maryland, 74-64. Purdue leads the all-time series, 14-12, but Notre Dame won the most meaningful of the 26 contests, beating the Boilermakers, 68-66, in the 2001 NCAA championship game.
Should the Irish advance past the second round, they would play their NCAA Regional at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, on March 24 and 26. The 2017 Final Four is set for March 31 and April 2 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

Hardest region
Oklahoma City: Baylor won't have to travel far. Mississippi State was at one point this season considered a No. 1 seed. Washington has the nation's best player in Kelsey Plum. Louisville has beaten Baylor in a regional before. And Tennessee has beaten two of the four No. 1 seeds this year. -- Creme
Oklahoma City: From Mississippi State's defense to Kelsey Plum's singular talent to DePaul's pace to the Siren-like one-game potential of Louisville and Tennessee, Baylor's quadrant of the bracket is a maze of unique challenges. -- Hays
Lexington: The top of this region looks much like it did last year, when it was also in Lexington, and No. 1 Notre Dame didn't make it out then. Standing in the way this year for the Irish might be regional host Kentucky, and then possibly Texas or Stanford; the Cardinal ousted the Irish a year ago. -- Voepel

Just thought I'd chime in for a change to note that Muffet finally got her team (barely) healthy enough to field a "stopper" five for a while. She was upset with our defense during the early Robert Morris run and brought in both Jackie and Mychal to go with Lindsay, Marina, and Brianna. RM then barely could get shots off for a while.
Had Lindsay not gotten her second foul, Brianna managed just a little Zen at the basket, and Erin had a clue about defending the high pick and roll (and getting back on her big so as not to stick Marina with a Big close to the basket), RM might not have had more than a handful of reasonable shots, and we'd be up 30-40.
We see in several of those things (some obvious; some subtle) the incalculable value of having Kat on the floor. But, agreed, rest her if we can.
