With its backs against the wall, and its season on the line, North Carolina hasn’t exactly responded with a sense of urgency.
UNC trails Notre Dame 27-19 at the break.
Notre Dame is 10-17 overall and 2-14 in ACC play. – 10:01 PM

More on this storyline
Chris Haynes: Portland Trail Blazers are finally on the runway to take off for tonight’s game against the Sacramento Kings after nearly 24-hours of weather uncertainty, but star guard Damian Lillard is unlikely to play, league sources tell @NBAonTNT , @BleacherReport . -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / February 23, 2023
Chris Haynes: CONTEXT: Trail Blazers arrived at airport on Wednesday around 2:45 pm to take off for Sacramento. Stayed on plane until approximately 10 pm and headed home. Due to weather/traffic, the commute home for some players was up to two hours. Returned to airport this morning at 9 am and didn’t take off until 1:43 pm. This is why Portland is resting key players tonight in Sacramento. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / February 23, 2023
