The final minute of UNC's Elite Eight win over Kentucky was sheer mayhem. 

The Tar Heels led by six with a minute left, and then Kentucky's Malik Monk nailed a three to bring the Wildcats within three. On the other end, Carolina missed the first free throw of a one-and-one, and then Monk drilled another triple to suddenly tie the game with seven seconds left. 

Then, chaos.
