Tar Heels fall to Miami, 80-69
The
Tar Heels had their third conference loss and second loss in a row in
Miami despite winning the boards 61-36. Unfortunately, Italee was held
to 9 points and Cetera only managed 6 points. The future is bright
though: the freshman had 35 of the Tar Heel's 69 points and 29 of the 61
rebounds.
Read
the UNCAA recap
here
and the Daily Tar Heel article
here.
The recap was also picked up by the News and Observer
here
and ESPN
here. |

Tar Heels fall to Duke, 79-51
The Tar Heels were as close
as 9 at the half and then within 11 mid way through the second half
before Duke walked away with a big win. Plagued with turnovers but
mostly just out rebounded, Coach Hatchell suggested training against the
football team in order to learn “to put bodies on people”.

There were also several
articles of interest prior to the game. Mechelle Vopell, blogger for
ESPN, wrote “UNC-Duke meeting lacking some of usual luster”. Read that
article

The other two both focus on Italee Lucas and Cetera DeGraffenreid. One
is from the Daily Tar Heel

TEMPO TALK |

From the Chairman
The
last week has been a very difficult one for our UNC Women’s Basketball
Team. They are currently on a three-game losing streak and horror of
horrors, coming off a loss to our arch-rival, Duke.
This
is the time for members of Tar Heel Team Tempo to stand tall in their
support of the team. This is the time that we can make a difference, do
your part by clapping loudly until the first basket of each half
is scored and then be loud until the final horn. This is the time to
bring a friend and introduce them to UNC Women’s Basketball. This is the
time to show the team, the staff and Coach Hatchell how much we
appreciate them and all of their hard work. Carmichael needs to be FULL
with EXCITED, ENERGIZED fans on Thursday night. I expect to see you
there.
Go
Heels!
