UNC led 84-81 with just over four seconds on the clock and Jones at the foul line in regulation. He did exactly what he needed to do, making the first shot and missing the second to recover the ball off a rebound.

Jones then sunk the shot with a second left.
In the final seconds of overtime, Jones again recovered the ball and threw up a missed shot, which landed in the hands of teammate Wendell Moore under the basket. Moore and Duke then dealt UNC a devastating blow after trailing the Tar Heels almost the entire game. Jones scored 15 straight points (28 points total).
