Before the big shot, Kennedy Meeks made a big impact on the boards
Posted Mar 27, 2017
Luke Maye finished with 17 points, including the game-winning jumper. And Theo Pinson was the man who found him, sucking defenders into the lane before kicking it out. But without a career-high 17 rebounds, four blocks and stout low-post defense from Kennedy Meeks, the Tar Heels likely wouldn’t have found themselves in that situation in the first place.
