Elliot Cadeau - Hands out six dimes Cadeau logged 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and six assists in 32 minutes during Saturday's 74-73 win over Notre Dame.

Impact Cadeau continues to show why he's considered one of the best point guards in the ACC, and he has a run of solid performances to back that up. The sophomore floor general has dished out five or more assists in six games in a row, averaging 8.2 points, 7.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.3 steals per game in that span.

Jalen Washington - Solid all-around effort Washington finished Saturday's 74-73 win over Notre Dame with eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.

Impact Even though Ian Jackson and RJ Davis led the way in scoring for the Tar Heels, Washington posted a solid all-around effort and contributed on both ends of the court. Don't rely on him for sustained fantasy production, however, as Washington often plays a secondary role in the Tar Heels' offensive scheme.

Seth Trimble - Out at Notre Dame Trimble (upper body) is out for North Carolina's game Saturday at Notre Dame, Rivals reports.

RJ Davis - Struggles from field Wednesday Davis racked up 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 83-70 loss to Louisville.

Impact Davis didn't have his best performance, and he faltered in a game where the Tar Heels needed him the most. This 12-point output was a season-low mark for the veteran, who's now failed to reach the 15-point plateau just four times this season. Davis will aim to bounce back when UNC takes on Notre Dame on Saturday.

Ian Jackson - Extends hot streak Jackson closed with 23 points (7-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 83-70 loss to Louisville.

Impact Jackson racked up 26 points in a win over Campbell on Dec. 29, and he kept the hot hand alive with another impressive scoring display. Despite starting in just two of his 13 games, the freshman is averaging a solid 13.9 points per game while establishing himself as a reliable offensive option for the Tar Heels.
