Depth showing up Big

 

[Viking131]

Careless, careless!

 

[BlueHeels02]

Nyla is so awesome

 

[Viking131]

Aarnisalo with the pass to Harris!!!

Let’s go!!! 11 point lead forces MD timeout

 

[Carolina151]

TIMEOUT, BRENDA!

HEELS LEAD 34-23 with 4:58 left until half.

 

[BlueHeels02]

Cooking!!!

 

[CadeShoemaker]

Another scoring run by UNC, this time 10-2, forces the Terps to call a timeout. North Carolina shooting an astounding 57.7% (15-for-26) from the floor with Harris, Aarnisalo and Grant a combined 12-18 for 26 of UNC's 34 points.

Meanwhile, Maryland is 1 for its last 7 shots, and 1-for-8 from 3-point range so far today.

Refs only calling fouls on one end.

 

[oldwell]

Good half, let’s keep it up

 

[Viking131]

Up Nine at the break, could easily be more. Let's go #heels

 

[CadeShoemaker]

Halftime - UNC leads 42-33

Elina Aarnisalo drills a top of the key 3-pointer for her first shot from outside the paint and its cash to give the Tar heels a nine-point advantage. Extremely efficient shooting from North Carolina in the first half, but 10 turnovers and allowing Maryland 10 offensive rebounds to score 10 second-chance points has kept the game closer than it could be.

 

[3397char]

The Finnisher! 13 points in first half, 5 driving layups and 1 of 1 from deep.

 

[Carolina151]

Heels lead 42-33 at half. Good job finishing and keeping it there.

They’re a good team. They’re going to make a run. Play our game and play under control. Carmichael is getting a little rowdy.

 

[tarboy]

Value the ball. Rebound. Get good shots and make them.

 

[uman1]

Feels like we should be up by 15. Hull is doing a nice job on defense which hasn't necessarily been her forte in the past. Brooks has helped a lot on the defensive boards where Toomey has struggled. LG and EA have been very good. Can't let up on them though. They are dangerous and the are loving giving them FTs.

[unc80]

Not playing well out of the break.

 

[3397char]

BS call on Indya’s 4th

BALL DONT LIE!

 

[CadeShoemaker]

Indya Nivar goes to the bench with her 4th foul after picking up two quick ones in under 3 minutes into the second half.

Indya Nivar goes to the bench with her 4th foul after picking up two quick ones in under 3 minutes into the second half.

UNC was +5 with her on the bench for nearly 7 min in the first half.

 

[Viking131]

Ciera is 6'5 and can't grab a rebound.

 

[3397char]

UNC playing small ball with Queiroz playing the 5, Hull playing the 4

 

[uman1]

Offense stagnant so far in the 3rd.

 

[Carolina151]

Nivar has 4 fouls

 

[3397char]

Offense stagnant so far in the 3rd.

Elina 4 points, rest of Heels zero

 

[uman1]

Ciera is 6'5 and can't grab a rebound.

She has regressed in the past few weeks. No confidence or physicality. We must find a solid post player in the portal.

 

[Lucretius]

BS call on Indya’s 4th

BALL DONT LIE!

These refs exhibit #1 why NCAA must fix their officiating mess.

 

[3397char]

MD has had a ton of 3’s go half down and rim out.

 

[Carolina151]

Heels lead 48-41 with 4:11 left in 3Q

 

[Viking131]

Selfish play

 

[uman1]

Maryland has taken the momentum away.

 

[3397char]

Time to end the small ball experiment, get Harris or Toomey back in with Queiroz.

 

[JOB1937]

The difference in contact allowed on the two ends…

 

[Viking131]

We can't grab a rebound for nothing!

 

[3397char]

Ugh Aarnisalo with 4 fouls ?!? How did that happen?

 

[uman1]

EA picks her 4th on a silly play.

 

[3397char]

We can't grab a rebound for nothing!

No bigs in the game…

 

[uman1]

Maryland would be up 5 if they could hit FTs,

 

[Viking131]

Harris was wide open and Lanie looked her off. Once again Selfish!
