How Kennedy Meeks grabbed the biggest rebound of his life to save UNC in Final Four

Posted Apr 2, 2017
UNC had missed three straight free throws. Oregon had scored five straight points. The score was 77-76, UNC, and four seconds remained in a Final Four game the Tar Heels seemed determined to blow. A fourth straight missed free throw seemed inevitable, and it was. Joel Berry missed again. And then Kennedy Meeks yanked the game away from the Ducks. (Charlotte Observer)
