North Carolina held a 10-point lead early in the third quarter, but Louisville's high-powered offense scored 35 points in the third to help propel the 13th-ranked Cardinals to a come-back win over UNC.

HATCHELL SIDELINED FOR TWO GAMES
University of North Carolina women's basketball coach Sylvia Hatchell will serve a one-game University-issued suspension at NC State on Sunday, January 31st, for making contact with an official during the Tar Heels' game at Duke on January 24th. The NCAA is also suspending Hatchell for the game at Boston College on February 7th for a Level III violation of rules pertaining to activities that simulate game day introductions of prospects during an official visit.
Assistant women's basketball coach Tracey Williams-Johnson served a one-game NCAA suspension for that same violation of rules pertaining to an official visit against Louisville on February 4th. Associate head coach Andrew Calder will lead the team during Hatchell's absence.
The University imposed the one-game suspension of Hatchell for making contact with an official (which resulted in a technical foul) after consultation with the Atlantic Coast Conference. The suspension is consistent with previous disciplinary measures taken by member institutions for unsportsmanlike behavior.
The NCAA suspensions relate to Bylaw 13.6.7.9 which states schools are not permitted to arrange a game day simulation for prospects at an event associated with an official visit. The specific violation occurred in the manner in which prospects were introduced at a team function, which simulated pregame introductions.
