SERIES HISTORY
Notre Dame leads 6-1 over the Tar Heels. The Irish have won each of the four meetings since joining the ACC back in 2013-14.Â
LAST TIME OUT
Five double-figures scorers helped Virginia continue its best start in Atlantic Coast Conference play in eight seasons with an 82-70 victory over North Carolina on Thursday inside John Paul Jones Arena. Predicted to finish sixth in the preseason, the Cavaliers remain tied with top-10 programs Louisville and Notre Dame atop the conference standings at 7-1, the programs best mark since going 9-1 in 1999-00.
North Carolina had its own balanced attack with four in double figures. Janelle Bailey had a game-high 21 points, followed by 18 points from Paris Kea and 14 each from Jamie Cherry and Taylor Koenen.
LAST MEETING WITH NOTRE DAME
Brianna Turner had 24 points, 12 rebounds and six blocks to help No. 6 Notre Dame beat North Carolina 77-55 on Jan. 22, 2017. Marina Mabrey added 13 points for the Fighting Irish, who gave coach Muffet McGraw her 750th victory at the school in her 30th season.
Paris Kea scored 15 of her 21 points in the first quarter for the Tar Heels. But Notre Dame ran off a 10-0 burst to build a double-digit lead early in the second, then a half-closing 9-0 run to pull away.
UNC lost Stephanie Watts, the ACC's No. 2 scorer (18.8) and No. 5 rebounder (8.8) when she appeared to injure her right knee falling on a drive to end the third quarter. She was helped off the court for evaluation and didn't return to the bench until late in the game.
NEXT UP
UNC hosts Miami on Sunday at 2 p.m. as part of Alumni Weekend. The Tar Heels are expected to have nearly 50 former players back in Chapel Hill. The 1998 team that won the ACC Championship and reached the NCAA Elite 8 will be honored on their 20th anniversary. UNC will wear a brand-new Jordan Brand black uniform combination for the game with the Hurricanes.
