‘Cherry Bomb’ not enough in UNC women's basketball tournament loss

GREENSBORO — Jamie Cherry has nothing left to give.

She stares at the court as senior Xylina McDaniel tries to console the North Carolina sophomore guard. Cherry pulls her jersey over her face — but it can’t hide her tears of frustration. Nothing can.

It’s too late now. Even her patented “Cherry Bomb” with 0.1 seconds left in regulation couldn’t save the Tar Heels (14-18, 4-12 ACC) from an 82-72 overtime loss to Pittsburgh (13-17, 4-12 ACC) in the first round of the ACC Tournament at the Greensboro Coliseum.

UNC women's basketball falls to Pittsburgh 82-72.
