“They share the ball really, really well, and all of them can shoot the three,” UM coach Tricia Cullop said of the Irish. “They’ve got lineups out there where at least four of the five are shooting threes. They have three of the best guards in the country, but they’re unselfish. They’re not afraid to make the extra pass to get the best shot.”
The Hurricanes have now slipped to 13-13 and 3-12 in the conference and are clinging to the final spot in the ACC Tournament with three games remaining in the regular season.
