Projection: likely out

Notre Dame currently faces a challenging road to the tournament, primarily due to a lackluster resume highlighted by weak non-conference victories and close losses in critical matchups, such as against Rutgers and Houston. Their performance against higher-ranked teams, including significant losses to Georgia and Duke, raises red flags about their ability to compete at an upper-tier level. While they have some potential opportunities remaining, notably against North Carolina and Virginia, their chances of bolstering their standing are hindered by a consistently lower offensive output and subpar computer rankings. If they can turn around their performances in these remaining games, particularly against stronger opponents, they could improve their odds, but as it stands, they are likely to find themselves on the outside looking in come Selection Sunday.
