No. 25 North Carolina's exhibition at No. 8 BYU came down to the very last possession in Salt Lake City.

BYU was clinging to a two-point lead and had just missed two free throws. UNC had advanced the ball before calling timeout with five seconds remaining in the game.

The ball was immediately thrown into Arizona transfer Henri Veesaar at the top of the circle. He then found senior Seth Trimble, who received the ball with a head full of steam and barreled towards the rim.

However, BYU rim protector Keba Keita blocked Trimble's last-second attempt and secured his 10th rebound — to go along with his 16 points — in order to seal BYU's 78-76 win. 

Despite the dramatic finish, there were bigger takeaways to be had from this exibition.

Freshman Showdown

While freshman phenom AJ Dybantsa has received the bulk of the national, preseason accolades — projected No. 1 draft selection, AP All-American team — it was UNC's freshman forward Caleb Wilson that was the story in Salt Lake City on Friday night.

Wilson, who is also expected to be a lottery pick, poured in 22 points and 10 rebounds. Dybantsa, meanwhile, had 18 points and eight boards. Both big men blocked three shots apiece as well.

UNC's Guard Rotation

Without Bogavac, the Tar Heels started a larger lineup that featured 6-foot-10 Alabama transfer Jarin Stevenson alongside Kyan Evans, Trimble, Wilson and Veesaar. 

Trimble, a senior, led the backcourt with 17 points while Evans struggled in his Tar Heel debut with just four points.

In a bit of a surprise, freshman Derek Dixon led bench players in minutes with 17. However, Jonathan Powell was given crunch-time minutes for his defensive prowess late in the game.

Luka Bogavac Sits Out

When Hubert Davis met with reporters in Chapel Hill this week, he said that while the NCAA had cleared Bogavac to play this season, the university was still working through giving the international transfer from Montenegro the green light. When asked if Bogovac would play against BYU, Davis answered succinctly, "Maybe."

Bogovac did not play, which will put his eligibility under the microscope as the regular season opener on Nov. 3 quickly approaches. Before then, the Tar Heels will host HBCU Winston-Salem State for their second exhibition.
