CANCUN, Mexico – Thanksgiving Day for the UNC women's basketball team here at the Cancun Challenge is a little different from what it might look like back in North Carolina. It's 85 degrees at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, with the palm trees swaying and the pools calling.
But for the Tar Heels (4-0), Thursday is a work day. After a slow start to the morning, they switch into gameday mode, with video and shootaround in the afternoon, pregame meal at 6 p.m. and tipoff for the fifth game of the season at 9 p.m. vs the Temple Owl (4-2).
