Turner's Take: You've Just Got To Play

Posted Apr 2, 2017
"You've just got to play," Theo Pinson said following UNC's nail-biting 77-76 win over Oregon in the national semifinal. He was referring to his team's response to Oregon's furious rally, the one that saw the Ducks trim a six-point UNC lead to just a single point in the last minute. They were pretty and they were ugly. But it's the Final Four. You've just got to play. (GoHeels.com)
