The No. 4 North Carolina Tar Heels face the No. 1UConn Huskies on Friday in the Sweet 16 round of the 2026 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. The winner will earn a spot in the Elite Eight.
The Huskies on the strenght of Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd are an impressive 36-0. During that run over 36 games, No. 1 seeded Michigan is the only team to make the game close (72-69).
North Carolina has a blueprint that could make this an interesting matchup. The Tar Heels are a defensive minded team by nature, but also present a threat from three. If they can keep UConn reasonable and the game doesn't get away early, their three point shooting could make this competitive.
Here is a look at the box score from Friday's second round Regional 1 in Fort Worth.
