Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. North Carolina Tar Heels
[h=1]Pick: Notre Dame +10[/h]In this ACC elite eight matchup, you’ve got Notre Dame matching up with UNC, a rematch from just a few weeks ago in the conference tournament. The Tar Heels come into this one having won 9 of their last 10 games, and they covered the spread in 7 of those games. Marcus Paige’s game is coming together at the right time, and it looks impossible to slow down Brice Johnson right now. Everyone and their mother thinks UNC is the favorite to win the championship now that Kansas is out of the field. Notre Dame on the other hand feels pretty fortunate to keep fighting in this tournament as their last two tournament games against SF Austin and Wisconsin both came down to the final few possessions. Zach Auguste is playing his best basketball of the season for Notre Dame, and I think he is able to limit Brice Johnson’s impact on this one. I also think Demetrius Jackson will be up to the task today, and he has a big game. Steve Vasturia needs to have a bigger impact than last game, but I think he knocks down some timely threes and Notre Dame gets the cover here. Look for UNC to probably win, but ND to get the cover as this ten-point spread looks a little big.
