UNC Basketball: Christian Laettner trolls Kentucky fans with Luke Maye tweet

On Sunday night, North Carolina and Kentucky went head-to-head in their second meeting of the season. And unlike the first meeting, which the Wildcats won 103-100, the Tar Heels came out on top, moving on to the Final Four in the process.

Similarly to the December meeting, though, it was an explosive, high-octane battle that again came down to the closing seconds of the game.

With 10 seconds left in the second half, Kentucky freshman Malik Monk hit a game-tying three-pointer from the top of the key that knotted the score at 73.

When Kennedy Meeks inbounded the ball to Theo Pinson with just over seven seconds left, Pinson quickly got down the court and penetrated through the heart of the Kentucky defense.
