This Time, 'Pick And Pop' Didn't Work
Posted Mar 16, 2019
The play is simply called “pick and pop.” North Carolina fans have seen it before. Just last month with the Tar Heels needing a 3-pointer to take Miami into overtime they ran “pick and pop” and it worked. On Friday, in the ACC Tournament semifinals against Duke, the Tar Heels tried to run the play again, only this time for the win, but it never materialized.
