#1 Virginia stuns Louisville with unprecedented final nine-tenths

Chris Graham

#! Virginia trailed Louisville by four with nine-tenths of a second left. And, yeah, wow. Chris Graham and Scott German try to figure out how, and then try harder to explain it, probably without much luck, given that none of us have ever seen this happen before.
