Video: UVA's Kyle Guy Hits Texas Tech with the Step-Back Before Draining Jumper
Both the Virginia Cavaliers and Texas Tech Red Raiders were in a position that difficult shots would be needed in Monday’s national championship game, and Kyle Guy delivered with one while doing his best James Harden impersonation.
Guy drilled a step-back jumper in the early going of the clash in Minneapolis to give his Cavaliers some breathing room.
Considering that Texas Tech is No. 1 and Virginia is No. 5 in KenPom's pace-adjusted defensive rankings, converting contested shots like that could be the difference in the game.
