On a night when the Tar Heels need him, Kennedy Meeks comes through

Posted Jan 12, 2017
After Wednesday night’s 93-87 win at Wake Forest, the talk about Kennedy Meeks in Tar Heels circles should be unequivocal. On a weird night that saw the No. 11 Tar Heels (15-3 overall, 3-1 ACC) nearly blow a 19-point lead and get perilously thin along the front line, Meeks was a sturdy constant, making big plays down the stretch in a gutsy road win.
