UNC's Final Four hero got a standing ovation in his Monday morning business class

Luke Maye spent Sunday evening etching himself into the North Carolina record books by hitting a buzzer-beating jump-shot that sent the Tar Heels to the Final Four.

By 8 a.m. Monday morning, he was starting the school week in a Chapel Hill classroom -- where he learned what happens when you level up from role-player to royalty.

Maye is a Tar Heels reserve who averages less than six points per game this season. But he scored 17 on Sunday against Kentucky, including the game-winning shot with 0.3 seconds left.

But this is a STUDENT-athlete, folks! Maye's Sunday night heroics didn't keep him from showing up to his 8 a.m. business class on Monday morning.

And the best part? He was greeted with a standing ovation, according to video and photo taken by a classmate.

Maye's game-winner was extra crazy because Kentucky guard Malik Monk had hit an apparent game-winner of his own just seconds earlier. This video shows a bar full of Wildcats fans reacting with joy after Monk's bucket -- then being completely deflated by Maye just a few seconds later.

Polar extremes of the human experience felt within seconds of one another? A hardcourt hero fêted at his early morning business class?

*checks calendar*

Yep. This, as they say, is March.
