Water shortage can’t stop Tar Heels

North Carolina still looked at home Sunday, even as it played what was supposed to be an Atlantic Coast Conference home game in Greensboro, N.C., 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 due to a water shortage.

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

The postponement came Friday after the water system supplying the UNC campus and surrounding area 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 filled with blue behind them in a venue where they’ve played 143 times — most coming during the 26 ACC Tournaments hosted here.

Wisconsin 65, Indiana 60

In Madison, Wis., Ethan Happ scored 20 points, Nigel Hayes added 15 and 10 rebounds, and No. 10 Wisconsin outmuscled Indiana to hold on for a win. Happ was 8-of-10 from the field to help the Badgers (20-3, 9-1 Big Ten) win their seventh straight game.

Florida St. 109, Clemson 61

In Tallahassee, Fla., Dwayne Bacon tied a career high with 29 points as No. 15 Florida State rolled. The sophomore guard, who has scored in double-figures in 34 straight games, was 10of-14 from the field, including 6-of-9 on 3-pointers.
