Larry Drew Plays Hero

Posted Mar 21, 2010
Larry Drew rose above the harsh criticism that has plagued him all season long on Saturday, driving the length of the floor and hitting an improbable left-handed high floater over three-time SEC defensive player of the year Jarvis Varnado with 2.0 seconds left to give UNC a 76-74 victory over Mississippi State. Mississippi State knocked down three early 3-pointers to jump out to a 16-4 lead, but UNC’s underclassmen rallied their squad. (Inside Carolina)
