If you aren't an Ivory Latta fan by now, you haven't seen her play.  The sparkplug led the Heels with 26 points in an 88-67 romp over Duke in the ACC tournament final on March 7.

They'd played poorly in the first two rounds, just getting by Miami and Virginia.  But not so for the game against the Blue Devils.  I'd been worried that Duke would crush the Heels, who hadn't seemed to have their heads on straight for the tournament.  Perhaps looking ahead to the NCAA games in the Dean Smith Center?

The Heels shot the lights out, with even Camille Little (23 points) getting into the act from behind the arc.  Strong defensive play from Nikita Bell, La'Tangela Atkinson on the boards, and post play from Erlana Larkins with Leah Metcalf contributing off the bench.

It was a great day to be a Tar Heel.  The day after the men came back to beat the Blue Devils, the ladies followed up nicely with a huge win over a Duke team that wanted badly to beat the Heels.  Instead, they were badly beaten themselves.
