Defining Moments from Greensboro

SCHEYER’S CLUTCH 3 With Duke up just one point and only 20 seconds remaining, senior Jon Scheyer hit a tough three-pointer from the wing with Georgia Tech’s Glen Rice, Jr. in his face to give the Blue Devils a two-possession lead and an ACC championship. Scheyer shot just 2-of-9 from deep, but his late basket allowed Duke to preserve a lead it looked in danger of losing. Just as he has in tight games all year, Scheyer came through when it mattered most despite an off night otherwise.

SINGLER’S LAUNCH In a play that encapsulated his tough attitude and Duke’s desperation against Georgia Tech, junior Kyle Singler jumped over the front row of broadcasters to save a loose ball—and in the process, bowled over ESPN’s Dan Shulman and Dick Vitale and broke a headset. Singler was scratched up but stayed in the game, and his 20 points were critical in what turned out to be a close one.
