There's a good chance that Notre Dame won't be rooting for Davidson to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament, as the Wildcats' surprising win in the Atlantic 10 tournament final knocked the Fighting Irish from a spot in the field of 68.

Selection Committee chair Bruce Rasmussen broke the news to Adam Zucker of TBS Sports during his appearance on the selection show.

Davidson entered the A-10 final with a 20-11 record on the season, but narrowly edged Rhode Island 58-57 to grab the automatic bid from the conference. Since the Rams had already done enough to clinch a bid in the field of 68, Davidson's win meant that Notre Dame was left on the outside looking in.

Notre Dame finished the year with a 20-14 record, but struggled on the season with star forward Bonzie Colson missing 15 games due to a foot injury. While the committee took that in to account, clearly the Irish didn't do enough to avoid being a late exit.
