Virginia survives Auburn on insane ending

The Auburn Tigers did everything they could do for 39:58 to defeat the Virginia Cavaliers in the opening game of the Final Four.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to survive the final 1.5 seconds, as UVA star guard Kyle Guy was fouled shooting a last-second three from the corner and hit all three free throws with 0.5 seconds left, as the Cavs escaped with a 63-62 victory and a berth in the national championship game.

With the Tigers leading 62-60 with time running out, Virginia’s Ty Jerome brought the ball up the court with Auburn guard Jared Harper applying pressure, Jerome appeared to dribble off his heel, pick up the ball and continue dribbling.
