Sylvia Hatchell's halftime message ignites UNC

Posted Jan 30, 2006

The message was simple. At halftime, trailing by 13 points in a hostile environment, North Carolina coach Sylvia Hatchell told her team to start living up to its reputation as the most physically gifted team in the country. Simply put, they out-duked Duke in the final 10 minutes of the game, overcoming a 12-point deficit down the stretch for a 74-70 win before a sellout crowd of 9,314 at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Sunday night.
