CADEAU'S HEROICS HELP UNC MEN'S BASKETBALL OUTLAST NOTRE DAME IN HECTIC FINISH

--------
Elliot Cadeau made a three-pointer and was fouled with 4.8 seconds remaining to help Carolina pull out an improbable 74-73 win at Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon.

Cadeau’s heroics came as UNC faced a 73-70 deficit in the waning seconds. The sophomore stepped back and nailed a long jumper while tumbling to the floor, then made the ensuing free throw to give Carolina the lead. Notre Dame missed a layup as the final buzzer sounded.

The chaotic final moments came after UNC led for almost all of the game’s first 25 minutes. The Tar Heels built a lead as large as 12 points in the first half, led by seven points at halftime and held a 47-36 advantage with 16 minutes remaining in the game. But the Fighting Irish, buoyed by the return of reigning ACC Rookie of the Year Markus Burton, responded with a 12-0 run to take their first lead since the game’s early moments. In the final minutes, the teams went back and forth with the Fighting Irish keeping ahead of the Heels, until Cadeau's shot catapulted UNC into the lead for good. Burton – who had not played since late November with a knee injury – finished with 23 points off the bench.

Ian Jackson led the way for the Tar Heels with a career-high 27 points, while Cadeau finished with 10. Jackson is the first UNC freshman to score at least 20 points in four consecutive games since Tyler Hansbrough. R.J. Davis scored just eight, but did pass former teammate Armando Bacot for second place on UNC’s all-time scoring list. Davis also finished with a season-high seven assists.

The win improves Carolina to 9-6 overall and 2-1 in conference play. The Tar Heels will be back in action when they host SMU at the Smith Center on Tuesday at 9 p.m. Head to Chapelboro to read more coverage on Saturday's win and the Tar Heels.
