UNC vs Miami - Player of the Game: Theophilus Pinson

In the first seven minutes of the last night’s game against Miami, the Tar Heels were scoreless and trailing 14-0. By the time the buzzer sounded approximately two hours later, North Carolina walked off the court with an 82-65 victory. That 31 point swing does not happen without the one, and only, Theophilus Alphonso Pinson.

Theo Pinson continued his late season emergence using multiple driving scoop layups, a pair of three pointers (THREEO! AMIRITE!?), and one massive two-handed dunk down the middle of the lane. That jam was so vicious, Miami players actively moved out of the path of Hurricane Pinson as he exploded above the rim.
