Stopping UNC rookie DeShields a tough task
Posted Mar 28, 2014
Diamond DeShields has proven she can beat any defense thrown at her. North Carolina's star freshman shoots the 3, reliably knocks down pull-up jumpers and scores off the dribble. Now she has the Tar Heels in the NCAA tournament's round of 16, and the challenge of stopping her next falls to South Carolina in the Stanford Regional on Sunday.
