UNC: Victory over Notre Dame to count as home game in RPI

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - North Carolina says the NCAA has determined that its victory over Notre Dame in Greensboro will count as a home game for the Tar Heels and a road game for the Fighting Irish in its RPI rankings.

UNC spokesman Steve Kirschner announced the NCAA's decision Monday.

The game was originally set for Saturday in Chapel Hill, but was pushed back a day and moved 50 miles to Greensboro due to an emergency with the water system that supplies the main campus and surrounding area.

The Tar Heels won 83-76. Kirschner says the NCAA decided that it would count as a UNC home game because it was moved for emergency purposes and because its season-ticket holders could use their tickets.
