Not to rain on Duke's parade ...
Hey, tonight's win over Clemson was well-deserved. And it was a fantastic game. But you might want to check out this video on YouTube.
It shows that the clock started slowly on Vern Hamilton's steal and game-tying 3-point shot. Thus, Duke probably should only have had 3 seconds left for its final play, not 4.4.
Before y'all go Oliver Stone over this, keep in mind how highly doubtful it is that the clock operator deliberately did this. To do so, he would have to think "Hey, Hamilton just stole the ball. But wait! Rather than start the clock, I will pause for a second, so that - just in case Hamilton's 3-pointer goes through - the Blue Devils will have enough time to get off a good shot on their possession. Highly unlikely. More likely is that the clock operator, like everyone else in the arena, was so stunned by what had happened, that it took him a second before he realized the clock needed to be started.
Nonetheless, it is clear, as K said, that the basketball gods were good to the Blue Devils.
