One of the all timers.
Banked in a side three at buzzer to win it.
Still believe they are vastly overrated.

One rule in college has got to change. Every time at the end of the game they go to review the clock teams get free timeouts and can draw up plays. Virginia may have won this game because they got to draw up a play at the end. I seen Marquette beat Butler in the NCAA tournament in similar fashion a few years ago because of checking the clock and allowing Marquette to set up a final play. They need to keep the players on the court and away from the coaches or how about get it right the first time and stop having so many reviews. Years ago we seen plenty of games without all the stops and reviews we are reviewing and adding tenths of seconds now back in the day you just played on. Too many games affected because of these stoppages.
Not only was WF up 7 they had the ball with 24 seconds left lost the ball gave up a 3 then missed 2 FT's then gave up another 3 and it was 70-69 all of a sudden. Then they missed the first FT and would have then been better off missing the 2nd FT as Virginia had no timeouts left and would have had to go length of the court instead they got to in bounds the ball. Teams up 1 should always miss the FT if there are less than 5 seconds left if they have no timeouts left as they are not likely to get a 2 point shot off anyway.
Most teams couldn't score 18 in 1:20 with no one else on the court.
Virginia is severely overrated.
Get ready now, when they get beat Saturday in the Yum Center Ville fans will make it out to be the best win of the year.

Wins over two top 10 teams (WV and Villanova) and a win over Miami are overrated? I'm not sure any other team has this right now.
Losses to George Washington, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and Florida St. don't help.
Look at their schedule. It would be their best win. They've beaten nobody. Pitt is their best win to date.
It seems silly to me anyway. All throughout the game when the clock stops (fouls, out of bounds, jump balls, etc) those tenths of seconds run off before the operator stops the clock. Why start adding those back in just the final minute to help the losing team?
You're forgetting that Wake missed about 5 of its last 6 free throws. I call that choking.
