A month ago today in Charlottesville Duke lost to Virginia 69-62

As Duke lost to Virginia 69-62 Duke’s losing streak was extended to two games as referees didn’t call foul on Ryan Dunn following Kyle Filipowski drive to the basket in regulation which should have resulted in Kyle Filipowski shooting pair of free throws.

Instead,

The Duke, Virginia game went to overtime where Duke went on to lose to Virginia in overtime 69-62 . As Duke went on to lose 69-62 to Virginia Mark Mitchell was 1-4 on field goals, 0-2 on 3 pointers to go along with 8 rebounds , 3 assists.

Following Duke’s 69=62 loss in overtime Saturday to Virginia where Duke’s losing streak was extended to two games as referees didn’t call foul on Ryan Dunn following Kyle Filipowski’s drive to basketball in regulation Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer had this to say about what the referees told him in real time after replay. “Well, they told me after the fact that the call was made after the buzzer. And you can see the ball left his hands before point-zero. So I don’t know exactly what the rule is. I’d like to get some clarification, understand. But the call was made, so I don’t know how the call can be taken away. But again, I’m not – I just would like clarity. And hate it for our guys. Look, it’s a big-time environment. Jacob Grandison hits a big-time three to tie it. You have a chance to win. And to attack the basket like that, that’s a big-time move. To not be rewarded, I feel for [Filipowski]. Our team. And then you have to move on in overtime. And we needed one more stop that we couldn’t get down the stretch in overtime.”

Though, Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only one to say something about the end of regulation as Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett did as well by saying “I don’t know. I was just trying to make my point while they were watching the replay like when your kid’s annoying and you’re like ‘Just shut up, leave me alone, I’ll get to you later.’ And I kept trying to say – because you know we have the advantage of seeing the replay and boy Reece [Beekman] got a, what looked to me, like a good block on it. I would’ve assumed the time ran out or the foul was after. So, I didn’t see it. Ryan [Dunn], I wish he would’ve, did a great job for us defensively, just let him get backdoor. We guarded the action, guarded the action. And then, that cut. But I didn’t get an official once they said no basket. And our staff was saying the shot clock went out. They weren’t too worried. But until I saw the call, that’s what I wanted to see. What’d you think? It was close right? Bang bang. We’ll take it.”

Though,

Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer, Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett weren’t the only to say something about the end of regulation where Duke’s Kyle Filipowski was driving to basket as Duke guards Tyrese Proctor, Jeremy Roach did as well. Tyrese Proctor shared his thoughts on if he had Kyle Filipowski enough time to win the game by “Oh definitely. He had an open lane. He went up strong, tried to dunk like we talk about all the time in practice, just going up strong and physical and just got unlucky with it. It was a good look.” Jeremy Roach shared his thoughts on what he say in last play of regulation. Just try to get the last shot. I didn’t realize, that was on me, the clock wasrunning down like that. The last play, I think it was a good play. It was kind of a muckup and Kyle [Filipowski] got the backdoor. And then obviously there was no goaltend, no foul but no excuses. We put ourselves in that situation and it’s on to the next.

Following Duke losing streak being extended to two games following referees not calling foul on Ryan Dunn as Kyle Filipowski was driving to basket the Atlantic Coast Conference admitted they should have called a foul and they were incorrect as foul was called on Ryan Dunn during a shot attempt by Kyle Filipowski as time expired . Upon the officials review the play it was determined that foul occurred following the clock reach 0.0, However the play should have resulted in two free throws for Duke. The Atlantic Coast Conference, upon review of the final play of regulation during the Duke at Virginia men’s basketball game, has announced an incorrect adjudication of the playing rules.

A foul was called on Virginia’s Ryan Dunn during a shot attempt by Duke’s Kyle Filipowski as time expired. Upon the officials’ review of the play, it was determined that the foul committed occurred after the clock reached 0.0. However, the play should have resulted in two free throws for Duke.

Per Rule 5, Section 7, Article 3c of the NCAA Rule Book, while a foul occurred after expiration of play, the ball was still in flight, thus the student-athlete should have been granted two free throw attempts.

Rule 5, Section 7, Article 3c states “when a foul occurs so near the expiration of time that the official timer cannot stop the game clock before time expires or when the foul occurs after time expires but while the ball is in flight during a try, the period shall end when the free throw(s) and all related activity have been completed.”

A.R. 130, Section 2 of the NCAA Casebook notes in a scenario where “Shooter A1 releases the ball, time expires, A1 is fouled while the ball in in flight and the try is unsuccessful, since the try was released before the expiration of time and since the foul occurred after time expired but while the ball was in flight and A1 was an airborne shooter, A1 shall attempt two free throws even if the first is successful. When both free throws are unsuccessful, the game continues with an extra period(s).”

The ACC had addressed this situation with both institutions as well as the officiating crew.

The conference considers this matter closed and will have no further comment.

"I just credit these guys so much with the growth and with the mentality to be able to do that. For a minute there, we were playing much different. But the way we were turning it over, to only have four in the second half when they're pressing us the whole time, that just to me showed everything about the development of this group.

Though,

Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts following Duke’s 85-78 win over Miami in Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament semifinals as Duke junior guard Jeremy Roach was as well by describing his 3 pointer late by saying I felt good. Just on that last play -- the last three I shot, it felt good so I really was trying to get another three up because I knew the next one was probably going to go in. Stick my follow-through and stick to the work and have that confidence that I've always had."
