Even with those 2 bad losses

ND is still predicted to be a #5 seed in the tourney. While those losses were painful to watch and made a tourney bid unlikely before the ACC title run, they didn't dramatically change the seeding for ND.

We might actually look back at those as blessings in disguise. ND played the ACC tourney with a sense of urgency - if they had won the UM and UNC games, perhaps they wouldn't have been so focused on the ACC tournament.
