Three things in life are certain: Death, Taxes, and an undeserved invitation to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
While the Irish faithful may be quick to point out Notre Dame went 24-6 during the regular season, the majority of those wins came against teams like Long Island, Monmouth, Youngstown State, Colgate, Eastern Michigan, Northern Illinois, San Francisco, Brown, and North Florida. Notre Dame could only compile a 3-4 record against opponents ranked in the top-25.
After getting bounced from the Big East Tournament by Marquette in the first round, Notre Dane was awarded an invitation to the NCAA Tournament just because they're Notre Dame.
