Notre Dame has already beaten UNC and will not be overwhelmed the Heels athleticism. Obviously in the battle of two ACC teams, the Irish are very tested. This is an experienced team that should have beaten powerhouse and undefeated Kentucky last year in the Dance.

Yes the Heels won the rematch in a blowout and the Irish were making a line-up change that backfired short-term. Head coach Mike Brey knows how to adjust. Notre Dame had lost to Duke by 30 points last season, only to defeat them in an ACC tournament rematch.
