For the Tigers, their 19-game winning streak means they have more momentum than any other team in the NCAA Tournament. Notre Dame, on the other hand, is simply looking to redeem their ACC Championship loss and begin their journey to another NCAA Tournament run.
Princeton has relied heavily on their defense during the regular season, finishing tenth in the country with 61.6 points allowed per game. Lead by Steve Cook, leading their defense with 1.6 steals per contest; the Tigers have four players averaging at least one SPG.
Notre Dame is the complete opposite.
