The unranked Virginia Cavaliers traveled to Cameron Indoor Stadium and took out the No. 7 Duke Blue Devils in dramatic fashion Monday when Reece Beekman drilled a three-pointer in the last second of the game to win, 69-68.
Beekman finished with just seven points on the night and his game-winning shot was only Virginia's second made three of the game. According to ESPN Stats and Info, it was the first last-second game-winner to beat Duke at home in three years.
