Wolfpack Players Doubt Luke Maye, Inspiring His Big Night

Posted Feb 11, 2018
North Carolina wing Theo Pinson said there are two UNC players that opponents should not talk junk to: Luke Maye and Joel Berry. In the UNC locker room after the Tar Heels' 96-89 win over N.C. State in PNC Arena, Pinson said that some Wolfpack players were yapping during the game. They were saying that Maye was not athletic and essentially easy to guard. (Inside Carolina)
