Tar Heels win postponed game

North Carolina looked at home Sunday, even as it played what was supposed to be a home game roughly 50 miles from its arena.

Justin Jackson scored 16 points to help No. 12 UNC beat No. 20 Notre Dame 83-76 in a game postponed a day and relocated from Chapel Hill to Greensboro due to a water shortage.

“It’s a different environment and situation than you’ll probably ever have,” Jackson said. “But we grinded it out even when we didn’t shoot the ball great.”

The postponement came Friday after the water system supplying the UNC campus instructed its 20,000 customers not to drink or use the water due to critically low supplies, brought on by a water-main break and the shutdown of a treatment plant.

But the Tar Heels (21-4, 9-2 ACC) still had a loud home-state crowd in a venue where they’ve played 143 times — most coming during the 26 ACC tournaments hosted there.

On Sunday, the Fighting Irish (17-7, 6-5) trailed by 15 before climbing back to within 75-73 with 3:47 left.

But UNC answered with an 8-0 run. Badgers keep rolling: Ethan Happ scored 20 points, Nigel Hayes added 15 and 10 rebounds, and No. 10 Wisconsin outmuscled Indiana to hold on for a 65-60 win.

Happ was 8 of 10 from the field to help the Badgers (20-3, 9-1 Big Ten) win their seventh straight game and 19th in a row at home. Wisconsin has a one-game lead in the conference.

Josh Newkirk scored 22 points to pace the Hoosiers (15-9, 5-6).

’Noles win big: Sophomore Dwayne Bacon tied a career high with 29 points as No. 15 Florida State rolled to a home victory over Clemson.

Bacon made 10 of 14 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 on 3-pointers.

It’s the first time FSU (20-4, 8-3 ACC) reached the century mark in a league game since a 111-109 loss in double overtime to Georgia Tech in 1999. The 48-point margin also marks its biggest win in ACC history, surpassing a 36-point victory over Virginia in 1994.

The Seminoles were 17 of 30 on 3-pointers.

Senior Avry Holmes had 15 points for Clemson (13-9, 3-7).
