What to know about each team:

Princeton -- The Tigers won the first Ivy League tournament in that conference’s history, getting past Penn, then Yale. The Tigers did not lose a game against league competition. They’re very good, and back in the NCAAs for the first time since 2011. Don’t turn it over. Haven’t lost since Dec. 20. Chic upset pick, for sure. 

Notre Dame -- Mike Brey’s recent NCAA Tournament success, coming off back-to-back Elite Eight runs, makes Notre Dame a threat in any bracket. Bonzie Colson is a double-double waiting to happen and when the Irish offense is flowing and in rhythm they are nearly unstoppable in tournament play.
