As was expected, the Notre Dame basketball team was given a #2 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Irish will play the Akron Zips, in Chicago, on Friday. If the Irish win, they will face the winner of the Texas A&M and Florida State game.
Notre Dame shot itself in the foot by losing to Louisville in the Big East tournament. If the Irish would have won that game, they most likely would have been a number 1 seed.
But what about Pitt?
How does Piit get itself a number 1 seed over the Irish? Yes, Pitt won the regular season Big East championship, but…
- It was by a mere half game over Notre Dame.
- Notre Dame BEAT Pitt AT Pitt in their only meeting this year.
- Pitt lost their first game of the Big East tourney- while ND at least won theirs.
- If you stack the resumes against each other, the Irish look more impressive.
In my eyes anyways.
On top of it all, isn’t Ohio State supposed to be the number one seed overall? I think so, and yet, Pitt looks to be in a much easier bracket than the Buckeyes. It begs the question: Who is Pitt fucking to get such favor? HMMMMMMM ….
Honestly though, I am still shocked that Nlotre Dame has had the season that they have thus far. It’s been an awesome ride, and perhaps the best is still to come for Abromitis, Hansbrough, and the rest of the boys. I will take a #2 seed EVERY year.
So let’s get behind this team and cheer them on to victory after victory in the NCAA’s.
GO IRISH!!!
