UNC onto ACC title game with a kiss

Posted Mar 10, 2012
Kendall Marshall noticed the shot clock and didn’t have enough time to run another set play, so he took it to Alex Johnson, created space and kissed the game-winning shot off the backboard. That wouldn’t be the only kiss in UNC’s 69-67 victory against the Wolfpack in the semifinals of the ACC tournament, a win that sends the No. 4 Tar Heels into the ACC title game for the second straight year.
