N' Dame peaking at right time

They have won 5 straight, 4 with Harangody out. Carlton Scott avgd a double double in Luke's absence giving him more confidence.

They have a go to guy in Harangody, senior leadership in Hansbrough and Tory Jackson, along with Harangody. They have a sniper in Abromaitis and a solid bench.

They played well and didn't fold when Harangody went down and will be a better team for it come tourney time.

Anyone think they a serious sleeper team?

I called it after they beat

I called it after they beat Georgetown. Their underrated, Abromitis, Hansbrough, and Scott are good players with a healthy Harangody their a sweet 16 team and a threat to go deeper.

depending

on the team they are matched up with, I strongly think N.D. has upset ability.

If they land in the 7

If they land in the 7 through 10 range some projections currently have, I'm not sure they can beat a #1 or #2 seed in the second round. Remember, they can't face a Big East team in the early rounds, so they'll probably be looking at being in the same bracket as Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Wisconsin, or maybe Purdue. Other than the beat up Purdue team, I don't like their chances in those games.

will be a below 8 seed in the tourney! That is why I say an upset team. N.D. will not advance to the sweet 16! but a 9-11 upset 1st round team!
