UNC Mascot Sucker-Punched After Villanova Buzzer-Beater

Posted Apr 5, 2016
As soon as the shot went in and the buzzer sounded, everyone on the court was involved in chaos. During the melee, it seems like the Tar Heels' mascot may have gotten sucker-punched by someone on the court. In the lower left portion of the video you can see the mascot get punched, only to be restrained when he gets back up and tries to go after the person responsible. (Athlon Sports)
