With 3.8 seconds left, Saturday’s men’s basketball game between Vermont and Yale appeared to be over.
The Bulldogs led the Catamounts, 65–60, with just four seconds left in the game. Then, a sequence of strange events resulted in the craziest finish of the young college basketball season.
Here’s what happened: Catamounts guard Aaron Deloney, the America East’s two-time defending Sixth Man of the Year, raced down the court and scored a layup to cut Yale’s lead to 65–62. On the ensuing inbounds, Bulldogs guard August Mahoney trucked a defender and was called for an offensive foul.
