What was Luke Maye supposed to do in the final seconds against Kentucky? Not shoot to try to win the game? As villains go, Maye does not fit the profile. No self-absorbed recruiting prospect, he originally agreed to be an invited walk-on at UNC. His game lacks look-at-me flamboyance. His emergence is a product of hard work. He even said, “I take pride in my academics.” (Lexington Herald-Leader)
