UNDER THE DOME
THE BIG PICTURE
BIG GAMEDAY PERFORMERS
For the first time since the epic five-overtime 104-101 win over eventual national champ
Louisville on Feb. 9, 2013, Notre Dame hosted ESPN's College GameDay Feb. 6 in advance
of its showdown against North Carolina (No. 2 in the Associated Press rankings and No. 1 in
coaches' poll at the time of the game). Later that day, the Fighting Irish overcame a 15-point
first-half deficit to post an 80-76 victory over the Tar Heels.
"When we've been under the bright lights and on the big stage, we've flat-out deliv-
ered," Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said after the program's 11th triumph versus a
No. 1-ranked team.
