UNC women's basketball rookies 'thrown in the fire'

Posted Nov 16, 2015
The UNC women’s basketball team needs more time — and more bodies. After holding late leads in each of its games over the weekend, No. 22 UNC (0-2) dropped a 66-65 contest to Gardner-Webb on Friday and fell 79-77 to Oregon on Sunday. And in each matchup, only six Tar Heels hit the court. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been in this situation, to be honest,” Coach Sylvia Hatchell said. (Daily Tar Heel)
