Caleb Love has shown a history of bouncing back after bad games and destroying teams that can't defend the pick-and-roll. _ChrisHatfield targets him in this UNC vs. Notre Dame breakdown. 👇
The March Madness runners-up North Carolina Tar Heels would have envisioned the beginning of its season going differently. But, instead, it's been one filled with up-and-downs, and now they'll look to extend a winning streak to two when they welcome the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Chapel Hill.
They’re a more talented team, and Notre Dame has some obvious defensive efficiencies. The Heels have players like Caleb Love, Armando Bacot, and RJ Davis — North Carolina should be able to seize on that and roll. But at the end of the day? They need to be more consistent to trust to cover a double-digit spread in a conference game.
I like this matchup for Caleb Love, and one of those reasons is the situational aspect. Love has struggled lately. He's put back-to-back single-digit scoring efforts together for the first time since December 2021. Generally, when this has happened in his career, he's responded in the next game with a big performance. Earlier this season, he scored 9 points against James Madison, then responded with 23 points against Portland.
Love scored 34 points against Alabama; the Tide rank 12th in the SEC in pick-and-roll defense, allowing .74 points per possession.
