With 15 seconds left in the game, Ben Lammers had put on an elite clinic on rim protection, blocking eight of the Hokies’ 30 two-point shot attempts. Georgia Tech as a team had a whopping ten in the entire game. And the Hokies, who had struggled finding their shot throughout the game, found themselves down by one with the ball.
But Seth Allen, one of the Hokies’ key players this season, fearlessly attacked the rim for a contested layup which he converted, and turned out to be the game-winner. The Hokies were then able to cling to a 62-61 lead to get a much needed result at home to add to their resume for an NCAA Tournament berth.
