This is amazing ... the University of North Carolina player who hit the game-winning shot against Kentucky was IN CLASS hours after the game ... and got a standing ovation from his classmates.
Luke Maye was in his Business 101 class on Monday when the professor called him out -- and everyone stood up and applauded.
What's even more impressive ... the video was shot at 8 AM. The team flight reportedly didn't even land back in NC until midnight.
Salute.
