26-3 Second Half Irish Surge Dooms Tar Heels

Posted Mar 15, 2015
Up 63-54 with 9:59 remaining, the rug was pulled out from under the Tar Heels. No. 5 seed North Carolina fell to third-seeded Notre Dame, 90-82, Saturday night in the ACC Tournament championship game at the Greensboro Coliseum. “That was a big-time game for about 30, 32 minutes, and then after that it was a big game if you were a Notre Dame fan. It wasn’t for us,” Roy Williams said. (Chapelboro.com)
