Some North Carolina Tar Heels men’s basketball fans want to see senior forward Kennedy Meeks recognized for his NCAA tournament run performance by hanging his jersey in the rafters of the Dean E. Smith Center.
Meeks’ tournament performance was lauded by sports commentators, media outlets, fans and even a few critics. He helped carry the team in the Oregon game and had two enormous plays in the last 20 seconds against Gonzaga in the championship – one a block of Gonzaga star Nigel Williams-Goss and one an acrobatic steal that sent the UNC bench into a state of pandemonium.
