UNC was originally scheduled to host Syracuse at Smith Center, but that game was postponed last week when it was learned that a recent opponent of the Orange had several members test positive for COVID-19.
Notre Dame became available as a substitute opponent when its game at Pittsburgh was also put on hold because of quarantining and contact tracing among the Panthers’ roster.
The Tar Heels are 5-4 overall (0-2 ACC) after Wednesday’s loss at Georgia Tech. The Irish is 3-5 (0-2).
