A crucial play in Saturday’s matchup between Duke and No. 8 Virginia should have resulted in the Blue Devils attempting two free throws at the end of regulation. 

With 1.2 seconds remaining in the second half and the game tied 58-58, Duke’s Kyle Filipowski cut to the basket, received the basketball on the inbounds pass and went up for the dunk.

He was met at the rim by two Cavaliers defenders, and officials called a foul as time expired.

"A foul was called on Virginia’s Ryan Dunn during a shot attempt by Duke’s Kyle Filipowski as time expired," the ACC said. "Upon the officials’ review of the play, it was determined that the foul committed occurred after the clock reached 0.0. However, the play should have resulted in two free throws for Duke."

The conference cited Rule 5, Section 7, Article 3c of the NCAA Rule Book to explain.
