By the end, North Carolina dominated in almost every aspect of the game. The team won the rebounding margin 56-29 and collected 11 steals as a team to High Point’s two. UNC finished the game shooting 47 percent from the field while High Point shot just 36 percent.
Who stood out?
Watts stood out the most in the game, leading the team in four statistical categories — she finished the game with 21 points, 12 rebounds, six assists and five steals on the afternoon. Additionally, she made two 3-pointers and blocked a shot in her impressive performance coming off the bench. Much of her impact came in the second quarter, as the team was attempting to cut into the lead. Watts made three key steals in the quarter that resulted in six points for the Tar Heels.
Watts continued her big game in the second half, entering the starting unit in the third quarter and helping UNC take the lead late in the third quarter. As one of the lone bright spots in the first quarter, when she scored the majority of the points, Watts was able to get her teammates involved and lead North Carolina to a 3-0 record.
When was it decided?
The game was ultimately decided in the third quarter, after UNC took the lead for the first time since leading 2-0 early in the first quarter. North Carolina took the game over at that point, as it expanded its margin in the fourth quarter en route to a 25-point victory. High Point struggled to score in the final period of the game while North Carolina found the hot hand.
Why does it matter?
This game moves North Carolina to 3-0 on the season, as it will have two more games before beginning conference play on Dec. 10th. Being down as many as 21, this gives the Tar Heels an opportunity to learn from this performance and continue to find different ways to win as a team.
When do they play next?
North Carolina’s next game is at home against South Carolina State on Dec. 3rd, beginning at 6 p.m.
