A new ending for UNC’s Isaiah Hicks, who saved his Final Four best for last

Posted Apr 6, 2017
In the UNC locker room Isaiah Hicks wore a net around his neck. The net had come from one of the baskets at University of Phoenix Stadium, where the Tar Heels won the national championship on Monday with a 71-65 victory against Gonzaga. If there was one player even a non-basketball fan support, Hicks was as good a choice as any. (Charlotte Observer)
