‘Luuuuuke:’ Laettner welcomed UNC forward to break-Kentucky’s-heart club

Posted Dec 21, 2018
No Kentucky fan needs a reminder about what happened the last time UK played North Carolina. Luke Maye hit the game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left to give UNC a 75-73 victory in the 2017 South Region Finals. The dramatic finish inspired none other than Christian Laettner to tweet praise of Maye the following day: “Luke my son...May the force of the #32 be with you.” (Lexington Herald-Leader)
