# 9 UNC hosts Notre Dame tonight at 7 on the ACC Network. They are coming off a 96-61 exhibition victory over Winston-Salem State last Friday. UNC's starting lineup against WSSU consisted of the following players (2018-19 stats included):
Starters
PG Cole Anthony (6-3 Fr.)
SG Christian Keeling (6-3 Gr./Charleston So.): 18.7 ppg, 6.9 rpg, .380 3-Pt %
G Brandon Robinson (6-5 Sr.): 3.4 ppg, 1.6 rpg, .460 3-pt %
F Garrison Brooks (6-9 Jr./Auburn): 7.9 ppg, 5.6 rpg, 0.5 bpg
F Armando Bacot (6-10 Fr.)
Key Reserves
G Andrew Platek (6-4 Jr.): 1.1 ppg, .467 FG %, .333 3-Pt %
G Leaky Black (6-8 So.): 2.5 ppg, 1.2 apg, .417 3-Pt %
F Justin Pierce (6-7 Gr./William & Mary): 11.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, .345 3-Pt %
Against WSSU, Brooks was the standout, posting 18 points (8-10 shooting), 11 rebounds and 4 steals, 1 block and 1 assist. Bacot also posted a double-double with 10 points (4-10), 10 rebounds and 1 block. Point guard Cole Anthony added 11 points and 7 assists.
Off the bench, Justin Pierce is a familiar face after spending his undergraduate career with William & Mary. His 4th year of eligibility will be playing a key bench role for the Tarheels. Against WSSU he played 17 minutes and contributed 3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.
UNC committed 23 turnovers against WSSU, which is somewhat surprising for a team with 5 upperclassmen contributing in their "top 8". Unsurprisingly, the Tarheels dominated in the post, outrebounding the Rams 56-33 and blocking 7 shots.
Tonight's game against Notre Dame will be telling on whether their turnover issue against WSSU was an anomaly or the expectation for UNC going forward.
