Virginia stuns Auburn with Kyle Guy’s last-second free throws Globe_Sports
Time appeared to run off the clock as Guy launched a 3-pointer from the corner, but a foul was called with 0.6 seconds left on Samir Doughty, whose body made contact with Guy’s legs.Story continues below advertisement
Auburn’s Anfernee McLemore made a pair of free throws to put the Tigers up four with 17 seconds left. Cavaliers guard Ty Jerome, who had a game-high 21 points, was fouled near half-court with 1.5 seconds left, when Virginia coach Tony Bennett called timeout to set up Guy’s last-second 3 in the corner.Virginia held a comfortable advantage at 57-47 with 5:22 to play but fell apart down the stretch, largely without Jerome. Brown sparked a 14-0 run with three 3-pointers from the corner — almost all in the same spot.
De’Andre Hunter swished a short jumper that stretched Virginia’s lead to seven and Jerome’s uncontested long-ball from the right wing rolled in for a 57-47 advantage, which brought a timeout and the first sign of panic on the face of the Tigers.
