However, Duke still had one more chance. Rivers got the ball on the wing and pulled up for a three-pointer. He released the ball just before the shot clock expired, and it went in.

The crowd at Cameron Indoor Stadium erupted in cheers. Duke had won the game, and they had avenged their loss in the NCAA Championship Game.
