Auburn’s Chuma Okeke was the best player on the court Friday night, but his Sweet 16 against UNC ended early due to a knee injury.
Okeke went down awkwardly on his knee, and he hit the floor in tremendous pain. The trainers even brought a towel over for him to bite on due to the pain.
Okeke eventually was helped up and hobbled into the locker room, but not before several North Carolina players came over to wish him well. This was a classy move by the Tar Heels players:
