VIDEO: NC State's Markell Johnson Beats UNC Greensboro on Insane Halfcourt Heave
By Adam Weinrib
Pack Pride, indeed! On the verge of heading to overtime on the road against an inferior opponent, NC State standout Markell Johnson saved the Wolfpack's hide, allowing them to return home to Raleigh in celebration. Johnson, with very few expectations for this heave, somehow found paydirt with a prayer-filled looper, just as time expired.
That's a win AND a cover, all in one. Somebody better cut Johnson in on some of the winnings, after this last-second life-saver.
The senior guard is averaging 12.2 points per game in his final go-'round for the Pack, and this memory should endure forever. This is eternal stuff here.
