Final Four: Isaiah Hicks is the x-factor for a Tar Heel national title

Last year, the North Carolina Tar Heels found themselves one shot away from a national championship, yet that was not good enough for Isaiah Hicks and company.

Everybody knows how the final sequence goes.

Kris Jenkins inbounds to Ryan Arcidiacono, who drives to the three-point line, and hands it back to Jenkins, for the championship.

Isaiah Hicks could not get his hand up in time.

But not many people know that Jenkins was not Hicks’ man.

Hicks was actually guarding Villanova big man Daniel Ochefu. Brice Johnson was supposed to be on Kris Jenkins but was helping under the basket.
