Best of Midnight Madness: Kennedy Meeks performs 'I will always love you'

Midnight Madness produces some memorable moments each year, so The Dagger is chronicling the best ones from this October's lineup. If you spot something we missed, let us know here or here.

The funniest part of North Carolina's annual "Late Night with Roy" event wasn't Roy Williams showing off his dance moves, Marcus Paige singing some Beyonce or Bobby Frasor cracking on Duke. That paled in comparison to the incredible lip sync performance sophomore Kennedy Meeks delivered to Whitney Houston's "I Will Love You." The slimmed-down 6-foot-10 center went all out, even going down to his knees and writhing on the ground at the height of the chorus to the delight of the crowd and the amusement of his teammates. The only thing that would have made the performance better is if he had tried to hit Whitney's high notes too. Of course, there were a few serious moments at "Late Night" this year in addition to all the lighthearted ones. The North Carolina crowd welcomed women's coach Sylvia Hatchell back to the sideline with a standing ovation after she missed all of last season while battling leukemia. Paige also led the fans in a chant of "Get Well Stu" in honor of ESPN anchor and Tar Heels alum Stuart Scott, who is again battling cancer.
