Lucas: March 28 Flashback

Posted Mar 28, 2020
"Brian, you won't have time to dunk it." Those were Dean Smith's final words to his team as they left the huddle with 0.8 seconds left in a tie game with Cincinnati in the 1993 regional final at the Meadowlands. But the Tar Heels ran a brilliant inbounds play that freed Reese, and he did indeed try to dunk it, which seemingly took longer than 0.8 seconds. (GoHeels.com)
