Brice Johnson is screaming — again. Fists clenched, arms flexed. You know how he gets.
But this time is different; it’s more than a basketball play. There’s a minute and change left in the No. 8 North Carolina men’s basketball team’s eventual 75-70 win over Syracuse, but at the time, UNC is only up three points.
Joel Berry pulls the trigger from deep, uncorking a shot just behind the arc. It clanks — hard — off the rim. Find the ball, get to the ball. Who has the ball?
This is where Johnson comes in. He leaps in the air, one white shirt in a mob of orange ones, and somehow manages to get his hands on the ball.
