Redshirt freshman Jerome Hunter swung the ball from the right of the key to junior Al Durham at the top of the floor. Durham fired a crisp pass to his left, where freshman Armaan Franklin was waiting. Franklin took his time—patience is everything against a zone—before finding junior Joey Brunk at the free-throw line. Brunk took one dribble toward the basket, pivoted, and found Durham behind the 3-point line in space.
Durham had a wide-open Hunter off to his right, but seeing plenty of space for his own shot, he rose up, fired, and buried a triple as the crowd at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall exploded.
