How did he tip that in? Kennedy Meeks' basket helps avert upset for UNC

Posted Mar 19, 2017
UNC looked nothing like a championship team Sunday in the NCAA tournament – at least not until the game's final three minutes. Fueled by a bizarre left-handed tip-in by Kennedy Meeks and a defense that got serious at just the right time, the Tar Heels scored the final 12 points of the game Sunday to edge Arkansas, 72-65, and advance to the NCAA Sweet 16.
