A tight battle of ACC foes between Duke and Virginia featured a bit of controversy on Saturday after the matchup went into overtime following a questionable no-call on the last play of regulation.
With 1.2 seconds remaining on the clock and the game tied, 58–58, Duke freshman center Kyle Filipowski secured an inbounds pass and immediately drove to the basket. As he drove to the rim, Filipowski’s shot was contested from behind by UVA junior freshman guard Ryan Dunn and at the rim by guard Reece Beekman.
Initially, the play resulted in a foul on Beekman, which would’ve sent Filipowski to the line for a pair of potentially game-winning free throws. The officials would ultimately overturn the call after determining Beekman’s contest resulted in a blocked shot as time expired, despite the replay appearing to show Filipowski being hit by at least one Cavaliers player in the air with time on the clock.
