Derek Dixon 'not scared of the moment' in UNC Basketball win at Kentucky

Posted Dec 4, 2025
When the moments arrived, UNC freshman Derek Dixon snatched them and sent a sea of Kentucky fans to the exits. Over the course of 53 seconds in the No. 16 Tar Heels’ 67-64 win at No. 18 Kentucky, Dixon buried a contested, step-back 3-pointer to beat the shot clock and made a driving left-handed layup over a 7-footer for the go-ahead bucket.
