UNC beats Notre Dame by 42 in ACC tournament behind Walker Kessler’s near triple-double

“With (Brooks), we have the best frontcourt nation, by far, easily,” said UNC freshman center Walker Kessler. “And without him, we all kind of understood that we’ve got to step up a little bit, like no one person has to do it by themselves.”It was evident from the start that Notre Dame couldn’t contain the Tar Heels’ size and they exploited that advantage at every turn. Just visualize Irish guard Dane Goodwin, all 6-foot-6 of him, trying to defend the 7-foot-1 Kessler.The game was like playing keep away from a younger, smaller sibling. Early on it seemed like every shot Carolina missed, it was able to corral off the boards for a second attempt. And a third. And sometimes a fourth.The Heels finished with 25 offensive rebounds — one shy of tying its season-high in the loss at Syracuse — and 27 second-chance points.“I feel like me and Day’Ron (Sharpe) are probably the two best offensive rebounders in the country,” sophomore forward Armando Bacot said. “...We beat each other up in practice all the time every day and make it tough on each other. So just going against other bigs, it’s a lot easier just getting to the offensive glass.”This presentation contains images that were used under a Creative Commons License.
