No Double Double for Heels Hoopsters

Carolina lost to LSU tonight in the Elite 8 in the NCAA Women's Tournament.   The disappointing loss ends a season that saw the Heels go undefeated in the ACC and win the ACC Tournament Championship. 

I was hoping Carolina would win both the men's and women's national championship in the same year.  To my knowledge, that has only been accomplished by the Mierzswinski/Amsbacher/Byrne Huskies.

We watched most of the game, and the Heels generally played terrible.  Lots of turnovers, bad passes, dumb plays, bad shots, etc.  Fayetteville's LaToya Pringle had a nice game but Erlana Larkins did not, going 2 for 11 even though all her shots were from inside.  And Cetera Degraffenreid, Carolina's point guard, was horrible.  She made a number of ill-advised passes and turnovers and finished 1 for 9.   She is no Ivory Latta, but she's only a fresh(wo)man.  As a team Carolina shot 34 percent to 37 percent for LSU.
