No. 2 North Carolina travels to South Bend to take on Notre Dame in ACC action on Saturday.
The 19-3 Tar Heels are coming off their first loss in nearly two months after falling 71-65 to Louisville last Monday. The host Fighting Irish are 15-7 and have lost two of their last three games, most recently a 79-70 defeat by Miami where they trailed by as many as 20 points late in the second half.
North Carolina is being led this season by 6'9" senior Brice Johnson, who is averaging 16.7 points and 10.2 rebounds a game, but head coach Roy Williams is still waiting for point guard Marcus Paige to realize his full potential.
