After one, UNC leads 12-11

Tar Heels hold the Huskies to 5-for-22 shooting and get the UConn miss their last six shots. Indya Nivar five points and five boards. North Carolina here to play.

The girls are getting hacked ngl. No calls either way but still we’re getting hacked lol
yeah it certainly benefits the team playing more physical. We have 7 TOs and I would argue that at least two of them were fouls.

UConn is VERY lucky they aren’t down by 7 or 8 AND at the very least we will be spared that freaking graphic of so many seasons that the Huskies haven’t trailed at the end of any quarter throughout the NCAA tournament.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a quarter with no fouls called on either team. But I’ll take that quarter!

Elina Aarnisalo breaks the scoring drought, but even then its a hard (off-balance shot) to do so.

Meanwhile, UConn is 5 for its last 5 from the field. Tar Heels got to keep it manageable over the final five min of this half.

UConn guards are just relentless on defense and they are platooning them. Very impressive,

UNC has 10 turnovers in the first 14 minutes of play

Strong is 5 of 10 for 10 pts
Quinonez 4 of 6 for 9 points
Rest of their team 1 of 15 for 2 points

Fudd has zero 3pt attempts and is 1 of 6, great D on her, mainly Nivar and Grant
