With 1:11 left in regulation, it all but looked like the game was over. DJ Horne committed a turnover, and DJ Burns committed a flagrant foul. Prior to Reece Beekman heading to the free throw line, Virginia was leading by 5 points.

He missed them both, but would then make 1 of 2 with 51 seconds, putting the Cavaliers up by 6 with 51 seconds left.
