The No. 19 North Carolina women’s basketball team ended Florida’s four-game winning streak Wednesday, 77-57, at the Jumpman Invitational inside the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C. On Tuesday, No. 7 Florida remained undefeated by holding off North Carolina 90-84 in the men’s portion of the Jumpman Invitational.
The Gators (7-5) were limited to a season-low 20 points in the first half to trail North Carolina (11-2) by 21 at the half.
Florida’s 14-0 run in the middle of the third quarter only cut a 27-point deficit to 51-38. North Carolina’s 8-0 burst snuffed any hope of a UF comeback as it never got closer than 15 after that. UF was led in scoring by freshman Liv McGill with 15 points.
