The Notre Dame Fighting Irish hung tough against the 13th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels on the road Tuesday night, but couldn’t pull the win out in the end. When the clock struck zero, the Irish dropped the decision, 75-69.
Despite the loss, the young guys from Notre Dame showed some toughness, and John Mooney showed why he’s one of the best big guys in the ACC. He registered yet another double-double, finishing the game with 16 points and 17 rebounds. DJ Harvey showed some flashes of being the player we think he can still be, scoring 15 points.
