Duke clamps down to stymie Wolfpack’s last-gasp play to end shootout

By Ryan Hoerger | March 10, 2016

State on the back of a gritty defensive stand on the Wolfpack’s last fluid offensive possession, stymying one of N.C. State head coach Mark Gottfried’s most trusted plays.

Against then-No. 7 Virginia, Allen hit a tough buzzer-beater to give the Blue Devils a one-point victory in what proved to be one of their best wins of the year.

All five starters for Notre Dame averaged double-figures in scoring during the regular season, led by point guard Demetrius Jackson and his 15.9 points per contest.
