Call it a win and move on: For UNC’s women, dramatics work out in final seconds

Posted Mar 19, 2023
The easy explanation for how UNC’s women’s basketball team extended its season Saturday: Deja Kelly banked in a shot with 2.3 seconds left as St. John’s fouled her to break a tie. She finished the three-point play. "I love those moments," Kelly said. "I’m a competitor, so I’m going to do whatever it takes to win." Yet it was more complex than that. (Tar Heel Tribune)
