Posted Mar 21, 2023
When Deja Kelly hit a jumper and made two free throws to draw UNC within one point and went ahead on Paulina Paris’ layup off Alyssa Ustby’s steal. Ohio State never saw UNC’s rally coming before the Tar Heels nearly pulled it out and sent them to a second straight Sweet 16 in Seattle. A heartbreaking loss, but a team effort as gallant as it gets. (Chapelboro.com)
