With 4.0 seconds to go in regulation and his team down by one point, Louisville’s Mangok Mathiang was sent to the free throw line for two shots.
Mathiang’s free throw percentage for the 2014-15 season was a rather sub-par 48%, so it’s not as if either shot was a guarantee.
Fortunately for Louisville, the rim was on their side for Mathiang’s first attempt which hit the back iron, shot straight up in the air while grazing the backboard, and fell right back into the hoop.
Magic was crushed.

Mathiang would miss his second attempt but the first one was enough to take the game into overtime.
