You think watching the end of the Baylor game was stressful for fans? Multiply that for Brady Manek

Posted Mar 22, 2022
"It was pretty stressful," Brady Manek said Tuesday (Video) ahead of No. 8-seed UNC’s East Regional semifinal against No. 4-seed UCLA in Philadelphia (9:30 p.m., CBS). "So when the play was still happening, we were watching the replay of the play before so we didn’t know what was going on. We could hear the crowd. It was stressful all the way around."
