The fifth seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish (25-9, 12-6 ACC) will open up NCAA Tournament action on Thursday afternoon when they take on the 12th seeded Princeton Tigers (23-6, 14-0 Ivy League). The Irish are coming off a loss in the ACC Championship game to Duke. Despite that, the Irish are playing very good basketball right now.
On the other hand the Tigers ran through the Ivy League regular season slate unblemished, and mimicked that act in the conference tournament as they took down Penn and Yale to claim the league’s automatic bid.
