A win over Marquette to start off the 2017 NCAA Tournament was nice for Notre Dame. Now, the road becomes a lot more difficult. With Denver, Maryland and Albany in the foreseeable future, the Fighting Irish are nowhere near guaranteed a spot in the NCAA Championship.
The Irish have one of the best teams in the country, there’s no doubt about it. Brendan Gleason and Brendan Collins have led this Notre Dame team all season, and have proven they’re two of the top players in the NCAA. Add goalie, Shane Doss, to the mix, and this team is nearly perfect.
