The Notre Dame basketball team is starting to pick up steam in terms of bracketology, and here is where they land in some recent bracket projections.

The Notre Dame basketball team is one of the hottest in the country right now, and the national media is starting to take notice. They have only two losses in their last 14 games, and in that span, they have put together some crucial wins within the ACC.

In fact, with a win on Wednesday night, Notre Dame basketball will move into first place in the conference, a huge accomplishment for a squad that struggled early on this season.

Taking a look at where the Irish and other teams are currently projected, we used four sources. The four sources are CBS, ESPN, On3, and Bracket Matrix, which looks at over 100 brackets.

Within the Matrix, nine ACC teams are projects by at least one outlet to make the NCAA Tournament, and here, we look at where the Irish land.
