The North Carolina women’s basketball team has had trouble finishing in the second half all season.
Its matchup with Virginia Tech on Thursday proved no different — but this time the end result was in UNC’s favor.
The Tar Heels beat the Hokies 71-67 in a matchup where UNC almost blew a large second-half lead.
With 9:46 left in the third quarter, the Tar Heels (14-12, 4-7 ACC) were ahead by 19. But with 7.4 seconds left in the fourth quarter, North Carolina found itself up by just one point.
