Senior Ja’Quan Newton had only made four 3-pointers all season, shooting 17 percent from the beyond the arc. His fifth one might have solidified the Miami Hurricanes an NCAA Tournament spot.
After sinking two free-throws, the Canes were up three points with nine seconds remaining when North Carolina senior Joel Berry II hit a contested 3-pointer to tie the game.
With four seconds left at that point, Newton rushed the ball up the floor and hit a 3-pointer just inside halfcourt right as time expired. The Hurricanes won 91-88 against the No. 9 Tar Heels, spoiling Senior Day for the defending champions.
