Lucas: Lucky Us

Posted Apr 4, 2017
Kennedy Meeks will leave UNC as a national champion. We don’t have to leave. We get to do Carolina basketball tonight and tomorrow and forever, and we’ll get to tell stories about this year’s Tar Heels, who may have taken years off the end of our collective lives, but it was so, so worth it. We’ll get to remember where we were and who we were with and who we hugged. Lucky us. (GoHeels.com)
