Play: Notre Dame +2 -105
Time: 7:15 p.m. ET
TV: CBS
Reasoning: My power ratings say the Irish should be favored by one point in this game. Not surprisingly, they've played the tougher schedule (No. 57 compared to No. 97) and they are 7-2 vs. Top 25 teams. Wichita State is 2-2 vs. the Top 25. Historically in this tournament the No. 2 seeds are 63-22 (74.1%) vs. No. 7 seeds. The Shockers are undersized and will face a Notre Dame team that has seen all five of its starters average double figures in its five postseason games. The Irish have a pretty sizable advantage in all shooting categories and they are 28-0 when they shoot for a higher percentage than their opponents. They also are 18-0 when they top 80 points. Notre Dame's neutral site stats are much better than Wichita State and the Irish are 5-2 ATS as an underdog.
