Notre Dame defeated Pittsburgh in opening round of the ACC Tournament on Tuesday, and the game ended on an extremely controversial call.
It appeared Notre Dame and Pitt were headed to overtime when the score was tied 54-54 and the Fighting Irish botched two chances at a gamer-winning buzzer-beater. Markus Burton first missed a jump shot, but teammate Trae Davis had just enough time to grab the rebound and attempt a put-back. Davis also missed.
There was a whistle on the play, and the announcers initially speculated that the officiating crew wanted to check for goaltending. The whistle was actually for a foul on Pitt forward Zack Austin, who contested the rebound from Davis. Replays determined that the foul was called with 0.5 seconds left, which sent Davis to the line.
Davis hit the first free throw and missed the second, but it didn’t matter. There wasn’t enough time left on the clock for Pitt to get a shot off, so Notre Dame prevailed 55-54. You can watch the sequence here.
