It was 72-65 in favor of Syracuse with 1:10 left in the game. Most people would think that a comeback would be next to impossible.

Miami was able to create offense and defend almost perfectly, and crazily, was able to overcome the odds, defeating the Orange, 75-72.
The Hurricanes (22-9, 14-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat Syracuse (15-16, 9-11 ACC) for the second time this season, and the second time they had completed a double-digit comeback against them.
Sixth-year senior guard Charlie Moore missed a free throw that was rebounded and laid in acrobatically by fourth-year guard Jordan Miller.
