HALFTIME: UNC trails 28-20

Indya Nivar single-handedly keeping the Tar Heels in the game so far. Her 11 points and six rebounds are willing a North Carolina team that was 8-for29 and had 11 turnovers.

These teams combine for 3 of 29 for 3pt shots in the first half with quite a few airballs. I think the large gym and prize fight style lighting is getting to them.

Alright ladies, you're going to have to do this playing 5 on 8.

UConn is allowed to grab on every screen, swipe arms without calls and hammer drivers in the lane.

All that and if we were just shooting a decent percentage from ANYWHERE we would have the lead!

Go win the second half, ladies!!

GO HEELS!!

Take the first good open look. The way this game is being called if we fool around with the ball we will not
get any shots and if you do not shoot you cannot score. Quick moves and shoot good shots.

Harris clearly fouled on that layup attempt

and then gets hit with a weak Offensive foul on next possession that negates a bucket.

Harris: 4 fouls
Entire UConn team: 5 fouls

Their bigger players move so well on defense.

It's starting to get ugly. we may not score 35.

These refs are a JOKE right now. Just keep fighting and COMPETE every possesion. Proud of the effort. Just need more composure. Somebody else has to make plays besides Indy.

It was 20-23 UConn with 1:30 left in Q2. UConn scores 12 straight in the next 4 1/2 minutes to go up 15

Still proud of the heart which they are showing in this game, offensively we are not doing much which you could contribute to UCONN defense. We need to create some T/O's somehow.

Do not foresee being tired as an issue, have to give CB credit she is playing the bench in this game, The experience which they are having in this game will definitely help next season for the young players.
