After her team’s demoralizing loss to Louisville last week, Katie Meier made changes.
The veteran coach, who will be leading the Hurricanes to a seventh-straight postseason appearance, decided she’d preached enough about her team’s need to get tough ahead of the ACC Tournament.
So she called on her point guards and captains – Adrienne Motley, Jessica Thomas and Laura Cornelius – to try and reach the rest of their teammates, to drive home the point that at this point in the year, another performance like the one they’d put together in that 79-51 loss to the Cardinals wouldn’t do.
