"Nasty move","That was filthy": Fans react as Ta'Niya Latson's buzzer beater and Sydney Bowles' clutch plays stun North Carolina

Ta'Niya Latson and the Florida State Seminoles extended their winning streak to three games with an 86-84 victory over the North Carolina Tar Heels at Carmichael Arena on Sunday. Latson sealed the Seminoles' victory in dramatic fashion, scoring a buzzer-beating layup to record their first win against a ranked team this season.

Latson got the inbound pass with 3.5 seconds left and the game tied at 84. She immediately faked a shot attempt, causing two North Carolina defenders to jump. Latson ran past them as their feet left the ground, executing an up-and-under move as time expired to hand Florida State its 16th win of the season.
