In 2012, the North Carolina Tar Heels lost starting point guard Kendall Marshall to a wrist injury during a round of 32 matchup with Creighton. This forced a virtually unknown (at the time) freshman named Stilman White into the starting lineup for the rest of the tournament. While he performed admirably, it was impossible to replicate the performance of Marshall, who went on to win the Bob Cousy Award. The Tar Heels’ season came to a close in the Elite Eight against Kansas in a year in which many picked them to win it all.
