Courtney Banghart preaches that the game is won with good defense and bemoaned a stretch of the opener when her UNC women’s basketball team “stopped defending.” There were no such issues Saturday in an impressive 96–35 victory over UNCG at Carmichael Arena. It was an impressive display that suggests this team has a high ceiling. (Tar Heel Tribune)
