NORTH CAROLINA VS NOTRE DAME PREDICTION 

The Tar Heels handled Notre Dame on their home court in the beginning of the year but that was because Cole Anthony was dropping dimes. Today the Fighting Irish are going to be well prepared as Mike Brey is looking forward to this game and it’s definitely going to be a Notre Dame kind of day look for Notre Dame to cover the spread.
