CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Interstat) — The North Carolina women’s basketball team looks to rebound from a rare setback when it hosts Boston University on Sunday at the Dean Smith Center. The Tar Heels (8-2) enter the nonconference matchup following a 79-64 road loss at Texas on Thursday, which snapped a six-game winning streak. Guard Indya Nivar has been a consistent force, averaging 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists over her last six games. She scored 17 points against the Longhorns. North Carolina, which has won all six of its home games by an average of 41.2 points, features a balanced attack. Alongside Nivar, guard Elina Aarnisalo (16 points vs. Texas) and forward Ciera Toomey provide scoring and defensive presence. Boston University (3-5) seeks to steady itself after a 54-45 loss at Maine on Monday. The Terriers have struggled offensively, failing to reach 60 points in five of their eight games. A key player for the Terriers is guard Hildur Gunnsteinsdóttir, who leads the team in scoring at 9.1 points per game. She logged a team-high 32 minutes and scored 11 points in the loss to Maine. Her season high is 15 points in a season-opening win at Northeastern. The matchup presents a stark contrast in tempo and production. North Carolina averages 78.2 points per game, while Boston University averages just 57.6. The Terriers will need to control the pace and limit turnovers against a Tar Heels defense forcing over 18 per game. This is the first meeting between the programs. Following this game, North Carolina begins Atlantic Coast Conference play next weekend against Louisville, while Boston University continues its road swing at Albany on Dec. 13. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. EST Sunday.
