Luke Maye on UNC, playing in Italy, and the shot that changed his life forever

Posted Mar 26, 2021
Four years ago today, Luke Maye hit one of the most famous shots in UNC basketball history. In 2017, Maye edged Kentucky in the final second with an 18-foot jumper. The shot clinched a 75-73 win in a March Madness classic and launched a million Tar Heel fans skyward. "That shot feels like it wasn't that long ago," Maye said by phone from Italy. (MSN.com)
