Last-shot practice pays with Final Four for North Carolina

Posted Mar 27, 2017
Roy Williams sure has done his best to make sure his Tar Heels know how to hit game-winning shots. Now all that practice with a 15-second shot clock has paid off with a trip back to the Final Four. Luke Maye knocked down a jumper with 0.3 seconds left Sunday, answering Malik Monk's tying 3 and lifting North Carolina over Kentucky 75-73 in the South Regional final. (Associated Press)
