The North Carolina women’s basketball championship hopes came to a screeching end after losing 71-69 to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Despite their dance ending, there is no denying the remarkable season UNC has had despite the injuries, mid-season retirements, and on-the-fly rotations. Even in the final game, North Carolina showed their ability to adapt with Deja Kelly leaving and returning to the court after an injury.
UNC culture is building, and there is no denying that this team can be champions one day, especially when you account that the core still has two years of eligibility left. Even in defeat, the loss feels more like a lesson as they showed fight to the very end.
Usually, when a team is knocked out of the NCAA tournament, disappointment fills the room and takes away from a season of growth. However, when the final whistle rang, instead of social media filling the timeline with anger, it was filled with gratitude as fans thanked the Tar Heels for an incredible season.
Let us look at how Twitter thanks the North Carolina women’s basketball team for a season of memories.
