Reserves come to the rescue as Pinson, Tar Heels get revenge on Miami

Posted Mar 9, 2018
As bad as things got, Theo Pinson said he never lost faith, in part because he and his teammates trailed Miami by 16 in their regular season meeting before rallying to tie the game in the final seconds. “I’m really proud of the guys that came off the bench. I told them in the locker room those five really won the game for us. They got us playing the way we needed to play.” (North State Journal)
