A bittersweet Texas homecoming for Deja Kelly as UNC opens NCAA play Monday

Posted Mar 20, 2021
In a normal year, Deja Kelly’s Texas homecoming would have included a lot of time with family and friends not far away from San Antonio’s Alamodome. Instead, as Kelly and her UNC teammates prepare for Monday’s NCAA Tournament first-round game against Alabama, she’s getting a lot of time in her hotel room and at practices while in the bubble.
