The losing continued for North Carolina on Monday night, as the Tar Heels fell victim at Notre Dame after the Fighting Irish drained a 3-pointer with 2.4 seconds remaining to cap a 30-14 run to close the game.
Yet, a few Tar Heels played well enough to be recognized, so here are our 3 Stars from UNC’s loss at Notre Dame:
Garrison Brooks
Brooks has found his game again and was terrific Monday night scoring 22 points on 11-for-18 shooting. He also grabbed seven rebounds, handed out five assists, and registered a steal. He did turn over the ball four times, but otherwise he played winning basketball.
Cole Anthony
This was easily Anthony’s best all-around game since returning from the knee injury. He posted 23 points on 7-for-16 shooting, including 3-for-8 from beyond the arc, while also handing out six assists against just one turnover. He did miss four of his last five shots, a theme in late-game situations, but his overall play is encouraging and is a reason the Heels were in there at the end.
Brandon Robinson
The senior from Atlanta didn’t want to sit anymore, so he gave it a go and ended up playing 25 minutes scoring 11 points (4-for-8 from the floor, including 3-for-6 from the perimeter). Robinson had three rebounds, handed out two assists and recorded a steal for his effort.
