too short. >> here comes courteney morris. >> wisely driven by morris. who didn't have numbers.rest set up in half-court. >> half-court execution could be the difference in the game. they looked inside to garcia but the foul is called on the floor first. it looks like that's going to go against bonae holston. that's her fourth. in a game where we have seen several players in foul trouble, she's the first to pick up four. >> and coach petersen went to that smaller lineup. they forced holston to come out of the paint and attempt to guard secily ray, ray a lot of credit, because she was aggressive in going to the rim. >> garcia makes that free throw, the demon deacons haven't been great at the charity stripe in this game. 5 for 11 now. >> and it's not easy when you have been sitting on the bench as garcia has for much of this ball game to come in and hit a free-throw basket. coach petersen ended practice today with free throws and they shot a lot of them. >> he wouldn't let them leave. he said we have plenty of time until pregame. we're going to stay out here until you hit your goa

morris, waters ray and the freshman sandra garcia.c state wolfpack, a veteran backcourt, amber white, nikitta gartrell, the freshman kastanek, bonae holston and ellison. some keys to look for? >> the key for wake forest right away is to play ten deep. they got to get into their bench. they got to protect the ball. nc state is going to throw the full-court defense at them. they're going to really pressure them. they got to shoot the thr three-shoithree three-point shot. >> shooting the ball very well in conference play the ball is tipped. and wake forest will track it down. good hustle there by courteney morris. brooke thomas brings up the ball. up the floor. >> right away, you can see the pressure by nc state, the defense on the perimeter. thomas tried a little jumper. couldn't get it to go. and amber white manages to save it after a little confusion there for the wolfpack. >> you can see courteney morris is going to have the assignment of guarding nikitta gartrell. >> she tries to take it inside. and the shot from outside by gartrell

. >> debbie: courteney morris started on wright and then collier and now back on wright is morris. face-guarding her. >> mike: not even looking for the ball. garcia lost the rebound to wright. you made the point, monica wright can play 1 through 4, inside/outside, she is so good. >> debbie: she really is a special player to watch and all of the coaches in the acc have tremendous respect for what monica wright is capable of doing. and, obviously, mike petersen does and seeing that today. the defensive game plan built around not allowing her to get a touch. they don't want her to catch the ball. so she works herself into rebounding positions so that she can be a factor. she's a factor, all right. hasn't put up the numbers you expect she would when we've played almost a first half. the player in the acc with five of her six ac games all with over 20 points. you said it before, mike, 26 points in acc play. >> mike: boy, that last rebound, she gave up five inches to garcia. approaching a minute to go in the first half. here is boykin. roulhac for three! tiffany roulhac, her seventh thre

almost taken away by courteney morris. what a good play by morris. possession for wake forest. >> debbie: another senior for mike petersen making a play. >> mike: roulhac. kick-out to morris. garcia. not afraid to shoot from out there. has not hit a three today. >> debbie: has taken three of them, though. >> mike: 1:30 to play. an opportunity here. virginia cannot afford an empty possession. moorer spinning it off the glass! ariana moorer! and it's a two-point game! look at the defense by virginia! >> debbie: good defensive fake by lexie gerson. that's the kind of play that doesn't show up on but this one does. spin in the middle of the floor. off the window. it's the second time we've seen her use the glass right in front of the him. >> mike: moorer with 1 points, has been a factor here in the second half. this is as close as virginia has been since it was 34-33. again, that shot clock winding down for wake forest. collier. garcia, the rebound and the put-back! that's a big bucket by sandra garcia. under a minute to go. last touched by virginia. >>

good effort by morris on the rebound. and nc state couldn't get the basket to fall. >> shot clock running down. i don't think that's the shot harper wanted to there with ellison taking that shot from the outside. >> williams drives to the basket. she got whistled for an offensive foul. the last time she went barrelling on in there, draws the foul this time. goods, aggressive player from durham, north carolina. >> she uses not only her size but her advantage there on the quickness to get to the basket. you'll see asia williams, down the stretch, quite a bit the last 5:30. she made two gutsy plays down the stretch against miami. one was isolation for a go-ahead bucket and also got a steal to poke the ball away, she's made some big plays down the stretch and here she has an opportunity to extend the lead for wake forest. >> the demon deacons have got to do some work on t. at this point in the ball game. foul called on sandra garcia. her third. she had gotten on a bit of a roll earlier this half. now lewis ya ellison at the l

morris represented himself in the tax court, arguing that if he were a dutyful daughter instead of a son, he'd be allowed the deduction. the court concluded that the internal revenue code was immune from constitutional challenge. a claim that marty ginsburg thought was preposterous. he showed his wife the decision, and she agreed they had to take the case. and went on to conclude that the solution was not to invalidate the statute, but to apply it equally to both sexes. the ginsburgs won in the lower courts and the government appealed to the supreme court. the government said the lower court's decision cast a cloud of unconstitutionality over literally hundreds of federal statutes. to prove its point, the government appended to its briefs a list of hundreds of federal statutes. now, as nina notes, these were the very laws that ruth bader ginsburg would litigate and challenge over the next decade. by the 1970's, she had founded a special project on women's rights, the aclu, and was leading the battle in the courts against sex discrimination. and on the court, she has continued to be t
