Better defense important for UNC Women's Basketball against Virginia Tech

Posted Mar 4, 2022
The goal for No. 16 UNC in Friday’s quarterfinal matchup with No. 21 Virginia Tech at the ACC Women's Basketball Tournament is to make it more like their first regular-season game and less like the rematch. The No. 4-seed Tar Heels blew out the No. 5-seed Hokies 71-46 on Jan. 6 in Chapel Hill with a potent transition game and suffocating defense. (Tar Heel Tribune)
