North Carolina's Drew Murphy ran toward the stands, sliding on the grass as his teammates caught up and buried him in a dog pile. He forgot about the pain in his right calf. His 20-yard goal took the Tar Heels to their seventh Final Four appearance in program history. Little did he know that that day, Dec. 2, 2016, was the best he would feel for nearly two years.
