Playing North Carolina in any March tournament is a difficult task to ask of anyone. But playing them in Charlotte is going to make it near impossible for Notre Dame. Yes, this is a lot of points as the Tar Heels are laying better than seven-points here in this matchup. But they have dominated this rivalry, taking eight of the last 10 straight up, and covering six of those 10 meetings. The Fighting Irish started to surge a little bit recently, winning three in a row, and covering three of their last four. The Tar Heels ended a six-game straight up win streak in which they covered their final five contests, before running into the wall, better known as the Bue Devil's back on March 8, and getting embarrassed on the road, 82-69. I think they have to come in here and make a statement, for sure. Please understand based on most projections, they need victories here in the ACC Tournament to have a chance at an at-large bid for the NCAA Big Dance Tournament. Not just victories, but authoritative victories. They own one of the best offenses in the nation accounting for over 81.7-points per game. They are extremely accurate overall from the floor, hitting 48% as a team, and they have a quartet of guards all either averaging or flirting with double-digits. This is a talented team. They leave a little bit to be desired down low in the post. But I really do think this is a team that not just needs to win…but make a statement in each matchup during this tournament. It's a lot of points. But like it with UNC. Thank you.
