There was something about tonight’s game that didn’t give me the warm fuzzies before the ball was even tipped, and unfortunately it was with good reason. After a really disappointing first half, the Tar Heels were held off by the Fighting Irish in Parcell Pavillion, giving the Heels their first ACC road loss of the season. They will now return to Chapel Hill 1-1 in their two-game road trip, and will go into their game against Virginia with a 10-4 record.
Notre Dame came out of the gate abusing the matchups that presented themselves thanks to UNC’s defensive scheme.
