The game looked all but over—Seton Hall’s Myles Powell made a tough three-pointer to take the lead with 1.5 seconds left.
Kentucky sent out one last prayer to salvage the game, as a last-second heave by Keldon Johnson hung in the air, while Madison Square Garden held its breath.
”You think, there’s no way this is going in,” said Seton Hall’s Myles Cale, about Johnson’s shot at the end of regulation.
However, it was an answered prayer. The ball caromed off the glass and through the hoop, as euphoria and shock accompanied the sound of the buzzer.
