NCAA Bracket 2017: No. 5 Notre Dame will play No. 12 Princeton on Thursday

After a fantastic ACC Tournament run that ended with a cold shooting night against Duke in the finals, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish men’s basketball team is officially dancing.

The 2017 NCAA Tournament bracket has been announced, and Notre Dame is the fifth seed in the West Region. There, they have been given a first round matchup with 12th-seeded Princeton Tigers out of the Ivy League, who are 23--6 on the year.

The Tigers have just one win over other NCAA tournament teams, having beaten Bucknell 72-70 in December.
