Lucas: Notre Dame Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Whew. At this point, we probably can't get greedy, because enough of these went the other way last year that it was enough just to get the win, as Carolina beat Notre Dame, 66-65.

2. That game gave you a little window into what Day'Ron Sharpe could be. The big freshman was completely dominant during a key stretch of the second half. Before leaving for a quick breather with four minutes left, Sharpe had scored 14 of Carolina's last 17 points over an eight-minute stretch, almost all within arm's reach of the basket.
