“Sometimes It’s About Having The Best Player on the Floor”

Ohio State’s final play against North Carolina didn’t quite play out the way Kevin McGuff drew it up. Thanks to Jacy Sheldon, that didn’t matter.

“Sometimes it’s about coaching. Sometimes it’s about having the best player on the floor,” McGuff told the Buckeyes in the locker room after their 71-69 victory.

With the game tied at 69 apiece and less than 10 seconds to play, getting the ball into Sheldon’s hands was always McGuff’s plan.
