The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the North Carolina Tar Heels meet Wednesday in college basketball action from Greensboro Coliseum. 

Coming into this ACC Tournament matchup, Notre Dame sits at 11-14 so far. The Irish took out Wake Forest in tournament activity on Tuesday. As for North Carolina, they’re 16-9 this year. The Tar Heels are 2-2 in their last four and coming off a win over Duke. Check back all season long for free college basketball picks at Sports Chat Place. 

Notre Dame hit a 3-8 skid to open up the season, but then snagged wins in six of their next eight games. The Irish hit a four-game losing streak in late February, but then took out Florida State and Wake Forest in their next two outings.
In Tuesday’s tournament win over Wake Forest, Notre Dame was down 44-37 at the half but then surged for a 43-33 advantage from there for an 80-77 result. Leading the way was Juwan Durham with 16 points, 10 rebounds, one assist and three blocks. 

Over on the Tar Heels’ side, they got off to a rather rocky start at 5-4, but haven’t lost consecutive games since then. North Carolina is 2-2 in their last four outings, falling to Marquette and Syracuse while otherwise taking out Florida State and Duke in that time. 

In the 91-73 win our Duke on Saturday, North Carolina’s Caleb Love, Armando Bacot and Kerwin Walton each hit a team-high 18 points. That trio also combined for nine assists and 11 rebounds total. Garrison Brooks managed to chip in 14 points and five boards as well. 

North Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last five Wednesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last five after a straight-up win. The Tar Heels are 4-1-1 in their last six neutral-site games as a favorite and the under is 11-5-1 in their last 17 Wednesday games. 

Meanwhile, the Irish are 0-6 ATS in their last six Wednesday games and 1-5 ATS in their last six overall. The over is 4-0 in Notre Dame’s last four overall and 5-2 in their last seven after an ATS loss. 

PICK: I’m probably going to lean toward North Carolina here. The Tar Heels have been playing reasonably well over this 4-2 stretch, with their only bad game being an 83-70 loss to Marquette. North Carolina has been scoring well for most of the season, and they’ve hit 70 or more in each of their last six games. I like this one to be a higher-scoring affair with the Tar Heels powering out a cover.
