Luke Maye reflects on Kentucky history, prepares for another potential meeting

Posted Mar 27, 2019

For North Carolina fans, the date has become unofficially known as “Maye Day,” in recognition of Maye’s game-winning shot against Kentucky in the 2017 South Region final to send the Tar Heels to the Final Four, and eventually, their sixth NCAA championship.
