North Carolina and Notre Dame have split two head-to-head meetings this year, but the Tar Heels are significant favorites for the rubber match in Philadelphia.
Perhaps it’s because they crushed the Irish by 31 in the ACC tournament a couple weeks back. Or maybe it’s because they’re coming off a dominant 101-86 victory over Big Ten champs Indiana in the Sweet 16.
Either reason, the Heels are widely expected to cut down the nets at the Wells Fargo Center on Sunday night. Nevertheless, Notre Dame is talented, experienced and has shown an unbreakable will this tournament. This is far from a guarantee.
Tip-off is scheduled for 8:49 p.m. ET on TBS (Full Elite 8 Schedule). Here’s a look at all the betting info, courtesy of OddsShark:
