Why This Matters
Im wondering if Henri Veesaar has run out of gas, he played the entire second half and hasnt been nearly as effective the last several minutes. North Carolina, in fact, has only used on sub since halftime. The other four guys havent left the game.
Sports fans across the globe are reacting to this news.
The Bottom Line
At 9:13 PM EDT Austin Green · Staff Writer, Live H2 2:02 - VCU 77, North Carolina 77 Neither team could score for the first 2:50 of overtime — before a sweet reverse layup from VCUs Nyk Lewis ! Seth Trimble is fouled on the other end, and hits both!
