The Chaser: The 2016-17 UNC Tar Heels’ Season in Review

Posted Apr 5, 2017
If Kris Jenkins hit "The Shot", Justin Jackson’s dunk was "The Chaser". The sting of 2016 washed away, replaced by the sweet ecstasy of victory. The bitter taste of defeat masked by the euphoria of the ultimate success. The gag-inducing toxins of disappointment, soothed by redemption. Fireworks burst. Fires burned. Friends hugged. It was perfect. (SportsChannel 8)
