North Carolina women expect to win NCAA championship

Last year, the Tar Heel women were in control of their national semifinals game against Tennessee, leading by 12 with 8:18 left, before the Lady Vols closed with a 20-2 run. Two years ago, Maryland beat North Carolina 81-70, also in the national semifinals. While Tennessee and Maryland went on to win national championships, the Tar Heels were doomed to months of agonizing memories of being so close. This year, they said, will have a different ending.
