No. 2 Carolina Women Rally Past Illinois, 68-59
Posted Dec 21, 2008

The North Carolina coach was livid at her team's sloppy play in a win against Illinois and vowed to have the Tar Heels much sharper for their next game, which just happens to be against the Broncos on Dec. 28. Imagine how she'd react had the second-ranked Tar Heels lost instead of rallying past the Illini 68-59 on Saturday.
