What did the ACC/SEC Challenge teach us about where things stand in women’s college basketball? @emmabaccellieri breaks it down https://t.co/bEajFiXFgK
First SEC-ACC women’s basketball challenge ends in a 7-7 draw… 2-2 in the ranked vs. ranked matchups, and an upset (Miami over Miss St, Arkansas over FSU) on each side. #ncaaW
South Carolina women's basketball escaped No. 24 North Carolina with 65-58 victory in Chapel Hill on Thursday to remain undefeated. Despite an ugly night in the paint, Bree Hall led the #Gamecocks with a season-high 15 points including three 3-pointers: https://t.co/HjiWIaRToz
South Carolina wins 65-58. UNC played a great game defensively, but simply did not find enough offense when it mattered. SC survives its first true test of the season. UNC loses its third in a row, but will be a tough test for any team. Fun night in Chapel Hill.
Well, this one seemed over, and then SC missed some free throws, and we've got a 3-point game with 26 seconds left. Can UNC do the improbable?
women's ACC/SEC challenge has been SO good
47-41 South Carolina headed into the 4th. Deja Kelly went to the locker room after getting hit in the head (I think, hard to tell from up here), but she's back in the huddle now, which is good news for UNC.
South Carolina has the lead for the first time tonight, 39-37. UNC is in some foul trouble. Really curious to see if UNC can hang in here and keep this tight.
The spread on this game was UNC +27.5. I told multiple people there was no way Carolina was getting blown out like that on their home floor; their defense is too good. So far, that's proven to be true. Heels have forced SC into 10 turnovers and are +8 on the boards.
Dear god. After all that UNC only leads by 3, 29-26, headed into halftime. Feels like a wasted opportunity to not be able to build a bigger lead with SC shooting so poorly. But kudos to SC for staying with it. Excited for the second half. But first: RED PANDA!!!!!!!
Stat of the game so far? UNC has 8 offensive rebounds, SC has 9 defensive rebounds.
UNC leads 19-10 after the first quarter. A 9-point lead is nothing for this SC offense if it calms tf down, but still, UNC would sign up for this start any day of the week.
UNC's defense looks spectacular early. Up 6-0 w/ 6 min left in the first.
The ACC/SEC Challenge taught us a lot about some high-profile teams. @CBB_Central breaks it down https://t.co/hR4SNX9Qtm
