The stage was set for DePaul’s best free throw shooter to tie up the game with less than a second to go. Junior point guard Billy Garrett Jr. attempted a three as the clock ran out with DePaul down 76-73 at Seton Hall. He missed, but was fouled in the process and sent to the line for three free throws and a chance to tie it.
It was symbolic of the rest of the game, with DePaul seemingly out of the game but getting reeled back in. But they came just short of getting over the edge. Garrett missed the first free throw, made the second, and then sent the third one off the backboard, needing it to hit the rim for a chance to get a rebound.
