Stephen F. Austin did what seemed like the unthinkable with less than five seconds to go in regulation in its game against VCU: Desmond Haymon swished a three and was fouled (or at least the officials called it a foul, something that is currently being hotly debated on social media.) He made the free throw, completing an 8-2 run in the final minute.
It was a shocking turnaround: With 32 seconds left, VCU was ahead by five JeQuan Lewis missed two free throws. Haymon made a jump shot with 25.2 seconds remaining to make it within three. Briante Weber made a free throw and missed one for VCU. Then Jordan Burgess missed two, leaving VCU with a four-point lead with 10.2 seconds to go.
After tying up the game with Haymon’s four-point play, Stephen F. Austin held on to win 77-75 in overtime — yet another upset in what has been an insane NCAA tournament so far.
