Alyssa Ustby’s version of the Jordan "flu game" sparks big UNC women's basketball win over Duke

Posted Jan 20, 2023
It wasn’t quite to the level of the Michael Jordan "flu game", but UNC junior Alyssa Ustby went from feeling sick and on an IV to being a key player down the stretch in a day to remember. She scored 12 of her 16 points in the second half and made the No. 17 Tar Heels’ offense productive late as UNC held on for a 61-56 win Thursday over No. 13 Duke. (Tar Heel Tribune)
