Stephanie Watts' monster game against Alabama not enough in NCAA Tournament

Posted Mar 22, 2021
After waiting six years to play in an NCAA tournament game, Stephanie Watts did all she could to make it a memorable debut. The 2016 ACC freshman of the year did it all for North Carolina with 29 points, seven 3-pointers and three blocks, but it wasn't enough to overcome Alabama in the Tar Heels' 80-71 first-round loss in San Antonio on Monday afternoon.
