🔼 Tar Heel Time. Virginia women’s basketball plays the final two games of its regular season at home this week, beginning today against No. 21 North Carolina at 7 p.m.
Just one game separates the Hoos (11-5) and Tar Heels (12-4) in the ACC standings.

🔼 All In The Family! She spent her middle and high school years in the Chapel Hill, N.C., area, surrounded by Carolina blue. Her mother, Joanne Aluka-White, is the associate head coach on the University of North Carolina women’s basketball team, and the Tar Heels became a second family for Gabby White.
When it came time for White to look for a college program, however, she didn’t view UNC as an attractive option.
“When I was younger, I thought about it,” White, a first-year guard at the University of Virginia, said this week at John Paul Jones Arena. “But as I got older, I was like, ‘I want to keep my home life, my relationship with my mom and coaching separate.’ I didn't want that to mesh and potentially ruin the bond that we have.”
