Here’s how to watch Saturday’s ACC showdown between the No. 20 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the No. 12 North Carolina Tar Heels online.
The No. 12 North Carolina Tar Heels will look to remain in sole possession of first place in the ACC when they host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday night at the Dean E. Smith Center.
North Carolina is in the hunt for a top two seed with a record of 20-4, including an 8-2 mark in conference play. It’s been a struggle of late for Roy Williams and company, as the Tar Heels were blown out by Miami last weekend before struggling to a 80-78 win at home over sliding Pittsburgh on Tuesday night.
Still, the Tar Heels are one of the best teams in the nation when they play to their full ability. Justin Jackson is in the ACC Player of the Year race with 18.7 points per game, while Joel Berry has also played well this season to pace one of the most productive offenses in college basketball.
Saturday’s game begins at 6:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN, with full streaming details available below.

After a fast start to ACC play, the Fighting Irish have dropped three straight games to fall to 6-4 in conference and 17-6 overall. Notre Dame’s potent offense went cold last week against Virginia and Georgia Tech, and the defense was unable to keep up with Duke on Monday night at Cameron Indoor.

Mike Brey’s team still has the ability to get hot at any time and is shooting nearly 40 percent from behind the arc as a whole. Bonzie Colson has been a force on the interior with 15.6 points and 10.6 rebounds per contest.
