GLENDLALE, Ariz. -- Mark Few said he was unaware during the game that Kennedy Meeks had his hand out of bounds during a critical scramble for a loose ball in the final minute of North Carolina's 71-65 victory over Gonzaga in the national title game on Monday night.
With 49.1 seconds to play and North Carolina leading 66-65, Meeks battled Gonzaga's Silas Melson for a loose ball. But video of the scramble showed Meeks with his right hand out of bounds as he tried to snatch the ball from Melson.
A jump ball was called, and the Tar Heels retained possession before scoring the last five points of the contest.
