Markus Burton missed his chance to beat North Carolina two months ago. Burton's shot rimmed out at the buzzer as the Tar Heels held on in South Bend, for a 74-73 victory on January 4. After No. 12-seed Notre Dame slipped by No. 13-seed Pittsburgh 55-54 at the ACC tournament on Tuesday, Burton and the Irish get another shot at No. 5-seed UNC. (Tar Heel Tribune)
