Whittenburg's shot was an air ball. But Lorenzo Charles jumped and caught it, as if it had been the most carefully planned alley oop pass ever thrown and he dunked it. North Carolina State won the championship in one of the sport's greatest upsets. Lorenzo Charles was a hero, a star in a state where they take their college basketball stars very seriously. Lorenzo Charles died this week when the bus he was driving crashed in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was 47 and the bus had no passengers.
That has always been my favorite play from college basketball.
