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)
