By virtue of its No. 3 seed, Notre Dame earns a double-bye into the quarterfinals and will one of three teams — No. 6 seed Miami, No. 11 Wake Forest or No. 14 seed Virginia Tech — on Thursday, March 12 at approximately 9 p.m. (ET) on ESPN and the ACC Network.

Virginia, Duke and Louisville are the other three teams that will receive double-byes in the championship. The Cavaliers (28-2, 16-2) won their second consecutive ACC regular-season crown and will be the tournament’s No. 1 seed. Duke (28-3, 15-3) and Louisville (24-7, 12-6) will be the tournament’s No. 2 and No. 4 seeds, respectively, in the championship.

After finishing 6-12 in league play a year ago in its inaugural season, Notre Dame’s 14-4 conference ledger this year marks the second-best jump (+8.0) in the history of the ACC.
