Leslie McDonald lights up the Smith Center during UNC-Duke game

Posted Feb 21, 2014
Leslie McDonald had one more chance to make it count, to make his last time on his home hardwood against his archrival mean something. He’d been in a slump, but on Thursday night, he shook whatever demon was on his back in recent games. Fourteen seconds into UNC’s 74-66 win against Duke, McDonald received the ball behind the arc. He didn’t hesitate. He pulled the trigger. (Daily Tar Heel)
