The Tar Heels win 74-69. Massive moment for the program, and especially for seniors Indya Nivar and Nyla Harris. UNC is firmly in the hosting conversation now and a sold-out Carmichael crowd is going home happy. Game was on ESPN, too. Not too shabby.

UNC up 52-47 after three quarters. This is a team that wants to host games in March, friends, and they certainly look capable of it right now.
Elina Aarnisalo, the Finnish sophomore/UCLA transfer, is on fire. 9pts in the 3rd, including ANOTHER buzzer beater, 3-3 from outside, and 15pts in the game.
PHENOMENAL response by UNC. Nyla Harris gets 6 points in a row, Aarnisalo gets 4 in the last minute, including a buzzer beater, and Duke only up 14-13 headed into the second.

I'm here in Carmichael for UNC/Duke and it's a PHYSICAL start. UNC's offense from Virginia has not carried over at all. They are rattled. Duke up 10-3 w 4:13 left in the first quarter.
Kara pulled Thomas and Fournier immediately after the got their first fouls, showing faith in Roberson and Woods.
The answer is: YES.

I had the fabulous @emmabaccellieri.bsky.social on @burnitalldownpod.com to discuss all of the latest WNBA CBA news and put it in context of the history of women's basketball. Such a great talk. (Also YouTube thumbnails are the most humbling thing on earth.)

Duke is up 41-26 over NC State at the half. Fournier leads the way w/ 11p, 7r.
UNC, meanwhile, is in OT with Virginia Tech.
Never a dull moment in NC women's hoops.
Meanwhile, keeping an eye on UNC/Virginia Tech, which Tech leads 44-42 after 3. Tech is firmly on the bubble, while UNC needs to win out -- and probably get some help -- to have a chance to host. A lot at stake.

At the end of the first quarter, Duke up 28-16. Khamil Pierre is almost single-handedly keeping State somewhat still in this one; she has 10 points, everyone else has 6 combined.
Biggest problem for Duke is Roberson already has 2 fouls, and State does have Tilda Trygger ...
Since we can now gift article links, figured it was the perfect excuse to reheat this tonight. 🔓 @theathletic.com www.nytimes.com/athletic/333...

on a completely unrelated note, duke up 18-6 early
Here in Cameron for the 2nd time in a week to see if Duke can beat State for 17 in a row.
For @cbssports.bsky.social I wrote about Kara's moving postgame press conference after Duke's big win over UNC on Sunday, and why the message sounded so familiar to me:

I don’t think the gravity of this is understood
She changed this sport forever. For so much good. To win Olympic gold because you love skating. And you were truly just enjoying yourself. Revelation.

OT for an Olympic gold in hockey is the most potent drug in the entire world like how are any of us supposed to survive this especially when it is happening at the same time as the contenders are about to take the ice for Olympic women's free skate
