Lucas: Brennan's Shot Changed History

Fri Jun 8, 2012
Pete Brennan always maintained he was all alone when he hoisted the jumper that preserved Carolina's storybook undefeated 1957 championship season. The best shooters, of course, always think they are open. Brennan passed away Friday after a battle with cancer. He had been surrounded by family, friends, and--not surprisingly, given the close-knit nature of the '57 team--teammates in his final days. (Tar Heel Blue)
