UNC Women's Basketball Poised For Stephen F. Austin's Defensive Pressure

Posted Mar 18, 2022
Many opponents thought they could apply pressure defense on UNC's women, force turnovers and dictate play. That hasn’t worked out well most of the season. No. 12-seed Stephen F. Austin is the latest team that will likely give that strategy a shot when it faces the No. 5-seed and 17th-ranked Tar Heels at 7:30 Saturday night in Tucson, Arizona. (Tar Heel Tribune)
