No. 2 Carolina Women Defeat Austin Peay, 93-61
Posted Dec 31, 2008
As non-conference games go, No. 2 North Carolina's 93-61 thumping of Austin Peay made for a good practice. "Our practices are pretty intense. We go hard," Tar Heel forward Rashanda McCants said. Playing in an afternoon time slot normally reserved for practices in the Smith Center, the Tar Heels did their best Tuesday to force Austin Peay into a running game. Despite UNC forcing 25 turnovers and leading by as much as 87-46, coach Sylvia Hatchell wasn't happy.
