LAST TIME OUT
Paris Kea had season highs of 30 points and 10 assists to help the Tar Heels stun the top ranked Fighting Irish 78-73 on Sunday, earning the program's first win against a No. 1-ranked team in nearly 13 years.
Stephanie Watts added 19 points for the Tar Heels, who played with confidence nearly all afternoon and stayed on the attack behind Kea's hot hand. UNC led by 10 early in the fourth quarter before Notre Dame ran off 12 straight points to take the lead. But instead of crumpling, the Tar Heels found a counterpunch to hold on.
Kea hit two free throws in the final 20 seconds to help keep control for the Tar Heels, who mobbed each other on the court as the horn sounded.
