1. Carolina survives. The Tar Heels get an absolutely essential road win at Notre Dame, 63-59.
2. Second chance points made the difference. Carolina didn't shoot well, so the 23 second chance points off 23 offensive rebounds were a big story. Armando Bacot had 16 points and 11 boards (six offensive). But Leaky Black also had 11 (six offensive) and Pete Nance had 10 (five offensive).
3. RJ Davis helped turn the game around with some defensive pressure. Davis forced two Notre Dame turnovers early in the second half.
