On Monday night, the NCAA selection committee revealed their first top 16 teams of the season. While there is still a lot of games to be played, this is a big deal for the Notre Dame women’s basketball team. Because they are sixth in the country, they are a two seed. They are currently set up to be in the Greensboro region with number one overall seed Baylor, Maryland and South Carolina round out the top four in 4 of that region.
The first part to address is the overall seed that the Irish were given. The three-loss Notre Dame Fighting Irish are considered the second-best number two seed behind UConn.
