If Blackshear and Clarke don't make the putbacks and we lose to Duke and Va
Are we still in the tourney?
Blackshear had three Virginia players around him when he pulled down the Jrob's missed layup and he was under the basket and on the opposite side when he went up, off-balance and hit the winning bucket while falling back onto the floor. If the ball bounces different, and Blackshear doesn't get the rebound, Virginia pulls it down and gets the victory.
Clarke was all alone under the right side of the basket and was able to recognize that the ball wasn't going to hit iron. He timed his jump perfectly and got the put-back. If the ball hits any iron and bounces away from Clark, he doesn't get that clean put-back and Duke wins.
Just shows how close making the tourney can become.
