Posted Feb 16, 2025
Without No. 12 UNC’s star veteran, the Tar Heels showed plenty of heart in beating their rival with improvised lineups. Two clutch Grace Townsend free throws with 5 seconds left and a huge defensive stop at the end lifted the Tar Heels to a 66-65 upset of No. 10 N.C. State before a packed Carmichael Arena, doing it without Alyssa Ustby for the last 37 minutes. (Tar Heel Tribune)
