UNC Women's Basketball rolls into first Sweet 16 in 7 years with relentless defense

Posted Mar 22, 2022
North Carolina’s relentless defense has been frustrated many opponents all season. Add Arizona to that list, and put the Tar Heels down for their first Sweet 16 in seven years. UNC held the Wildcats scoreless for nearly 11½ first-half minutes on their way to a 63-45 true road victory Monday night in Tucson, Ariz., in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
