That flagrant call was ridiculous. It was more of flop on the UNC player (Boyd i believe).Try as they might, the refs couldn’t drag Banghart and the Heels to victory. A bad flagrant foul call late, a phantom travel with 7 seconds to give Chapel Hill another crack at it … didn’t matter.
The U moves on to face Va Tech. The Heels go out with a whimper.
I can't believe UNC went 0-3 on chances at the end. Or even get fouled.Try as they might, the refs couldn’t drag Banghart and the Heels to victory. A bad flagrant foul call late, a phantom travel with 7 seconds to give Chapel Hill another crack at it … didn’t matter.

Agree.That flagrant call was ridiculous. It was more of flop on the UNC player (Boyd i believe).
I might be in the minority (certainly with announcers and writers) but IMO UNCs problem is Deja Kelly. Yea she can score and assist but she does too much sometimes and her attempts to draw fouls causes turnovers and game slippage. I thought Donarski with Nivar or Reniya Kelly is a much better backcourt. Even McPherson before she was injured. It’s a weird look offensively sometimes with Deja.
I’d have to watch the replay again. I thought the first was certainly a travel. She hesitated and shuffled. Although I thought Danarski fouled the girl who passed the ball to her a second before. The second travel I didn’t agree with but I could be wrong. I’d have to watch it again. In live action I didn’t see it. On the one replay they showed I didn’t see it. But perhaps it was and I am watching with anti baby blue glasses on.I can't believe UNC went 0-3 on chances at the end. Or even get fouled.
However, I saw that a bit differently:
(Then Spearman clanks two Free Throws that could've added breathing room.)
- Williams most certainly traveled twice at crunch time, particularly the second. She was off to the races with that step
- Yes, that brush-aside by Spearman could've been ignored, but what the h+ll is she doing that for anyways?
(I'm watching Katie Meier at the press conference and Ja'leah Williams at the Post-game interview and both admitted she traveled.)

I concur. Madison Hayes is just a good, all-around blue-collar player...like Kayla Jones was for the team during the Cunane era. Hayes does all the little things that need to be done...be it a rebound, setting a proper screen, dishing off an assist...and when she gets her feet set from the perimeter, her THREEs are beautiful. It is disappointing she was not recognized...but that is probably a by-product, and downside, from having such balanced scoring spread out among 6 main players.I’m not @LETTERL but from a NC State fans POV, Madison Hayes was perhaps the most important player on the team imo. She didn’t end the season well. But she still averaged 11 and 7 and shot over 40% from 3. She has many qualities that simply don’t show up in the box score, she is the team leader and the glue of the team. She won’t wow you with talent and flare on the court but I was disappointed she didn’t make a team.
I think they're favorites to win the semi-final. As I type Va. Tech is leading Miami 27-24 halfway through the 3rd quarter.ND prevails. Blew the doors off the Cards early. TBH I quit paying attention it was so one sided. Louisville stormed back to cut it to 4 with about 2 minutes remaining but Hidalgo did what she does and made an acrobatic leader to push it back to 6 and the Cards never really seriously threatened after that. They had it to 4 again but that’s it. Some questionable calls I thought down the stretch both ways. Fouls that I didn’t really think were fouls on both sides so I suppose you could argue it all canceled out.
Walz got tossed in the final minute arguing for a foul which wasn’t called.
With Kitley out presumably for the tourney and ND playing well down the stretch here - are they the favorites to win the tournament ?
oh boy
I think they are the overall favorites.I think they're favorites to win the semi-final. As I type Va. Tech is leading Miami 27-24 halfway through the 3rd quarter.
ND and Louisville both scored more than 25 in the 4th quarter of their game alone.
oh boy
Boy is there ever. The fines idea though, I'm not too mad at that idea. How it came up in conversation as he was calling out the team, yikes though.A lot to unpack there! Wow.
Better get the petition ready and call a realtor!State, you need to win the championship for Tobacco Road. If yall lose, I might petition the state to move yalls campus to North Dakota or somewhere
