UNC’s Luke Maye etches his name in tournament lore with shot to beat Kentucky

Go ahead: call it a miracle. Luke Maye, who walked on to the North Carolina basketball team, responded to a game-tying three-pointer from Kentucky’s Malik Monk with a game-winner of his own, sending the Tar Heels back to the Final Four. It stunned the crowd and made Maye the talk of the nation, but you know what? UNC does not really believe in miracles. (Sports Illustrated)
