FAYETTEVILLE — Alabama-Birmingham coach Randy Norton admitted he took a chance, concentrating the Blazers’ defense to try to slow Arkansas sophomore Chelsea Dungee in their second-round Women’s National Invitation Tournament game Sunday afternoon.
The Blazers limited Dungee to just three first-half points, but her teammates made them pay, hitting nine 3-pointers and building a 30-point halftime lead en route to a 100-52 rout in Bud Walton Arena in front of a raucous crowd of 3,939.
The Razorbacks (22-14) will host TCU in the third round at 7 p.m. on Thursday. TCU (22-10) defeated Texas-Arlington 71-54 on Saturday in the second round.
