After years of hope, a promise delivered

Posted Jan 28, 2019
“Just wait ‘til next year,” Sylvia Hatchell would say. “Our moment will come.” On Sunday, their moment came. The Tar Heels held off No. 1 Notre Dame in a stunning 78-73 win behind an inspired effort from Paris Kea and a giant-killer approach that saw UNC force 20 turnovers and hit 11 threes. It was, arguably, the most impressive regular-season win in program history. (Argyle Report)
