Kansas State vs. North Carolina

CANCÚN, Mexico (Interstat) — Two teams coming off high-scoring victories will meet Friday when North Carolina takes on Kansas State in a women’s NCAA Division I basketball game at Poliforum Benito Juarez.

The Tar Heels (6-1) are riding a four-game winning streak, most recently dismantling South Dakota State 83-48 on Thursday. Indya Nivar led the way with a double-double, posting 13 points and 12 rebounds.

North Carolina’s lone loss came on the road against then-UCLA on Nov. 13.

Kansas State (5-3) arrives after a 95-92 shootout win over Columbia, also on Thursday. Guard Taryn Sides erupted for a career-high 30 points in the victory. The Wildcats’ season has been marked by inconsistency, with three of their losses coming by five points or fewer, including a 44-47 defensive struggle at Green Bay on Nov. 22.

This neutral-site contest is part of a multi-game event in Cancún. North Carolina will face Columbia on Saturday, while Kansas State is set to play South Dakota State.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. EST tip-off.
