No. 4 Tar Heel Women Top No. 2 Sooners In Thriller, 80-79
Posted Nov 24, 2008
Thirteen times in the last four seasons, North Carolina has played in games involving two top-five teams, and coach Sylvia Hatchell revels in such competition. "I've been in basketball 34 years and I just love it. You've got to relish the pressure." Hatchell's players apparently do, as No. 4 North Carolina made just enough plays Sunday, escaping with an 80-79 win over No. 2 Oklahoma in the title game of the Women's Preseason NIT.
