The Duke and UNC women's basketball teams faced off in the NCAA Tournament for the first time on Friday, and the two rivals already set a record in their first March Madness matchup. Offense was lacking as Duke beat UNC 47-38, with the teams combining for a total of 85 points, the fewest combined points in any women's NCAA Sweet 16, Elite Eight, Final Four, or championship game, per ESPN's Alexa Philippou.
Neither team scored more than 20 points in a quarter, and Duke's Oluchi Okananwa led the game with 12 points. Alyssa Ustby led UNC with nine points, as both team's performances were marked by their defense rather than scoring ability.
