Isaiah Hicks ends quiet game with thunderous surge

Posted Mar 20, 2017
It had been a quiet game for Isaiah Hicks, but he wasn’t about to let his North Carolina career end quietly. The senior from Oxford scored six of his nine points in the last 2:16, beginning with a thunderous dunk off of a Justin Jackson pass, to help the No. 1 seed Tar Heels escape with a 72–65 over Arkansas on Sunday. Now the Tar Heels face Butler on Friday. (Raleigh & Company)
