In college basketball's strangest year, UNC's win over Miami comes in unexpected fashion

Posted Jan 7, 2021

On a night when the Tar Heels couldn’t put the ball in the basket, senior Andrew Platek made the biggest shot of his four-year career to give the Tar Heels a 67-65 victory. (Daily Tar Heel)
