The two schools took turns holding the lead in the second half. With 26 seconds left on the clock, Durand Scott toed the line and hit two crucial free throws to give Miami a 60-57 lead. With one second on the clock, Olivier Hanlan was fouled while shooting a three-pointer. He hit the first two free throws, but the third one, which would have tied the game, clanked out. The Hurricanes grabbed the rebound and the buzzer sounded.
