The North Carolina Tar Heels are officially in the danger zone with their hopes of making it to the NCAA Tournament. After another disappointing loss that ...

The UNC basketball team will look to keep their slim NCAA Tournament hopes alive against a Notre Dame team that has been one of the worst in the ACC.

Carolina is more talented, but Notre Dame is on their home floor and has the ability to light it up from deep. Notre Dame has been one of the worst teams in the ACC thus far, but UNC has struggled to beat anyone away from Chapel Hill. The UNC basketball regular season has just four games left, and the Tar Heels are firmly on the outside looking in of the NCAA Tournament picture.

So, things aren't going so great right now for Carolina basketball. That's not a newsflash or anything, it's just a very honest assessment of the situation ...

Win or lose tonight probably won’t make a ton of difference, because UNC would almost certainly have to win the ACC Tournament to dance in March. That’s not a newsflash or anything, it’s just a very honest assessment of the situation presently. Something has to give tonight, though.

UNC entered this matchup on a two-game losing streak and in serious danger of missing the NCAA tournament after losing five of its last six.

UNC entered this matchup on a two-game losing streak and in serious danger of missing the NCAA tournament after losing five of its last six. Although the Tar Heels came out hot, this game was a back and forth for much of the first half. The Fighting Irish pulled ahead towards the end of the half, but their eight-point lead wasn’t enough to confidently determine that this matchup was decided. Bacot was the true leader in this close win, recording a double double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. A two-pointer shot just after the buzzer ended the half on a low note for North Carolina. By the second media timeout, UNC was shooting just 19.0% from the field, with Notre Dame shooting just barely better at 21.1%.

Davis had 13 and Pete Nance had 11 for the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels also grabbed 23 offensive rebounds to get second chances on that end. The win is huge for the Tar Heels as they stay alive. But for the most part, it was an uneasy feeling for UNC fans in attendance and watching. Love and Bacot both finished the game with 16 points each. They did so with tenacity on the defensive end and by attacking the rim offensively, something we’ve rarely seen them do all season.

This week will significantly impact UNC's AP poll ranking and ACC/NCAA tournament seeding.

UNC Basketball gets a much-needed win versus Notre Dame by a final 63-59. These are some of the random observations from the game.

Teams are begging the guards to shoot the ball. UNC finished the half with no assists and no made three-pointers. They are all necessary now so you take the win and look ahead to another critical game on Saturday versus Virginia.

"I felt like I needed to go out there and be a little spark and get the team going." Four players scored in double figures for the Tar Heels, including Armando Bacot, who supplied 16 points and 11 rebounds while combating double-teams. Davis scored 12 points and added eight rebounds.

The UNC basketball program had a 'heated' halftime talk to find the right mix of 'energy, effort, passion' leading to big second-half spurt.

And in the second half, we coached basketball.” The first half, we coached effort and passion. By the time it was almost the 16-minute mark, it was a one-point game. I thought in the second half we took care of the basketball. He had an assists on the first possession, followed up by a steal and fast break layup two possessions later, followed up by a steal just moments after. That was until a
