The play call that saved the season for UNC men's basketball
Posted Mar 21, 2017
Isaiah Hicks starts with the ball at the top of the key. UNC is down three points, 65-62, and the clock is approaching two minutes. He swings the ball to Justin Jackson on the left wing and then trots over to set a pick. Behind him, Kennedy Meeks comes to set a second screen. His man, sitting in the middle of the paint, has to come up with Meeks to prepare for the screen.
