(Anchor) THERE SEEMS TO BE A THEME WITH U-N-C BASKETBALL TEAMS…START OFF SLOW IN THE FIRST HALF, STORM OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM AND GO ON A BIG RUN, AND NEVER LOOK BACK. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM DID SATURDAY IN THEIR 51 TO 45 WIN OVER NORTH DAKOTA. (Anchor) JUST LIKE THE MEN’S TEAM DID IN THEIR FINAL TWO HOME GAMES LAST WEEK, NORTHERN COLORADO STARTED OFF SLOW AT THE BANK. U-N-C TRAILED 14 TO 10 AFTER THE FIRST QUARTER AND 26 TO 16 AT HALFTIME, ONLY SHOOTING 21 PERCENT FROM THE FIELD AND 18 PERCENT FROM DEEP. BUT, YOU GUESSED IT…THE BEARS STORMED OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM, TRADING BASKETS WITH THE FIGHTING HAWKS BEFORE GOING ON AN 18 TO TWO RUN IN THE FINAL FOUR MINUTES OF THE THIRD QUARTER. NORTHERN COLORADO HIT FOUR THREE’S IN THAT SPAN, WAKING THE FANS UP. U-N-C USED THE RUN TO CARRY A 43-36 LEAD INTO THE FINAL QUARTER, AND DIDN’T LED U-N-D GET ANY CLOSER THAN FOUR POINTS, SEALING THE WIN. WITH THE VICTORY, THE BEARS CLINCH A BYE AND A TOP TWO SEED IN NEXT MONTH’S BIG SKY TOURNAMENT. U-N-C ALSO CLINCHES AT LEAST A SHARE OF THE BIG SKY TITLE, BUT THEY WANT THE TITLE ALL TO THEMSELVES. COULD THE BEARS CLAIM THE TITLE WITH A WIN OVER PORTLAND STATE WEDNESDAY?
