No. 22 UNC eager to bounce back vs. Notre Dame

No. 22 North Carolina will aim to snap a two-game skid Wednesday night when it faces Notre Dame in an Atlantic Coast Conference game in Chapel Hill, N.C.

After losing both games on its road swing in California -- to Cal and Stanford -- the Tar Heels (14-4, 2-3) fell eight spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll, released Monday.

The common thread in both defeats was North Carolina's lackluster effort in defending the 3-point line. Stanford went 16 of 28 from behind the arc, while Cal was 14 of 26.
