UNC Asheville is down by four with forty seconds left in the big south championship; Kyle Jenkins, little brother of Kris Jenkins, steals it from Winthrop and the coach calls time out. “Don’t panic, there is plenty of time left and we have the ball” said Coach Carter. “Yeah boys, I got this, put it in my hands and we’ll take home that hardware” said Kyle.
