UNC (postseason)

With a trip to the Final Four on the line, Kentucky fell just short to the North Carolina Tar Heels, 75-73. After an amazing sequence of shots to tie the game by Malik Monk, Luke Maye sealed the win with a jump shot that stunned the Wildcats.

While Kentucky fans will be disappointed that they lost this game, it should be noted that UNC seemed like the team of destiny this season, as they should have lost to Arkansas, Kentucky, and Gonzaga and still found a way to win.
