Texas A+M Finished Off A 17-Point Comeback To Beat DePaul On A Late Chennedy Carter Three

The NCAA Women’s Tournament delivered some heroics and high drama on Sunday afternoon when Texas A+M completed in a massive comeback against DePaul to advance to the Sweet 16.

The Aggies trailed the Blue Demons by as many as 17, in a game that looked for all the world like it was going to go DePaul’s way. However, A&M got back on track with a furious fourth quarter comeback, beating DePaul 27-16 in the final quarter to earn an 80-79 victory and a trip to the second weekend.

Chennedy Carter was the hero for the Aggies, putting up an incredible 37-point performance in the comeback win including the game-winning bucket. After DePaul missed a shot in the closing seconds to take a two-possession lead, Carter brought the ball up the floor, weaving through the defense before hitting a nasty between-the-legs crossover at the top of the key to create some space to sidestep to the left for the game-winning three-pointer with just seconds to play.

It’s a phenomenal shot and capped off a tremendous individual performance from Carter. That dribble move to create space for the sidestep and her sweet shooting stroke did the rest as she came through with the nylon delivery to allow the Aggies to keep dancing.

Carter’s on-ball abilities were on display for much of the second half as the Aggies charged back and she went on a tear, like this possession where she fought her way to the hoop for an And-1 opportunity off a tough scoop shot in the lane.
