Maye’s shot gives UNC 75-73 win over Kentucky

The Southeastern Conference player of the year had only seven points in the first half. Calipari, asked about facing North Carolina, exclaimed: “Oh my god, how good are they?” The long two-pointer fell through the net with 0.3 seconds left to play, sending top-seeded UNC on a repeat trip to the Final Four with a 75-73 win.

After Kentucky’s Malik Monk swished a fallaway 3-pointer with 7.2 seconds remaining to tie the score at 73, North Carolina guard Theo Pinson rushed the ball down the middle of the floor.

Unguarded on the left wing, Maye took a pass from teammate Theo Pinson, straightened, launched and made an 18-footer with 0.3 seconds to play to lift North Carolina to that 75-73 victory, the one that stopped the Wildcats three victories short of where they meant to finish.

But I think just my length, I just try to bother him a little bit, not try to do anything more or anything less, just try to make it tough on him every time he gets the ball. It was all Gamecocks in the second half as Florida went 0-for-14 from the arc.

The Oregon Ducks, which haven’t been to the final four since they won the very first tournament back in 1939, will have to outplay the UNC Tarheels who were last in the Final Four, well, last year, and has, according to the Los Angeles Times, made more Final Four appearances than any other team. The Wildcats were in tears in the locker room.

“That shot is just playing back and forth in my head”, Fox said. They really matted on Saturday when Gonzaga shot 12-for-24 from the arc while Xavier was just 2-for-16. Fans booed Kentucky coach John Calipari in his first game in Memphis since leaving in April 2009 for the Wildcats.

The problem with focusing too much on Monk is that Fox is equally as risky, if not more so. That led to a makeshift lineup and a loss in firepower. He finished with 17 points in 20 minutes off the bench, and he made six of his nine attempts from the field.

“He reached out to me, it had to be three years ago when we got into the Champions Classic with Carolina, Ohio State, Kentucky and ourselves, ” Alford said. It was a terrific game. “I’m just thankful, honestly”. They played very much like a team that was anxious about the consequences of losing, never a good idea. Fox and Monk combined for 71 points in the December win over North Carolina led by Monk’s 47.

When the Tar Heels bring their lunch pails this season, they’re a step ahead of everyone in the nation. North Carolina’s assist-turnover ratio of 1.52-1 is the third best in school history. Calipari anticipated the move, but Kentucky reacted too slowly to the defensive shift. Over its last five games, United Kingdom is putting up 78.2 on offense while giving up just 69.2 on defense. “And it kind of started from there”.

He outplayed Ball, who finished with 10 points on 4 of 10 shooting before announcing he had played his final game for UCLA. “My first year on staff we won four Division I games”, Few said Saturday of his time as an assistant. Because I won’t watch this tape. “But a lot of moments I hope we never forget”. “I’m not watching a thousand and one”. “I’m not watching a thousand and one”.

Justin Jackson uncharacteristically barked at the Wildcats after a few buckets, while Kennedy Meeks grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked four shots, never giving an inch in a fierce battle with Bam Adebayo. In addition to seniors Derek Willis, Dominique Hawkins and Mychal Mulder, draft projections show that Malik Monk, De’Aaron Fox and Bam Adebayo would be first-round picks in the 2017 National Basketball Association draft.
