Jaylen Blakes hit a step-back jumper with just over one second to go and visiting Stanford earned its first-ever win over North Carolina, 72-71, in Chapel Hill on Saturday.
With the teams changing leads five times over the final two minutes of play, the intensity was palpable as the crowd held its collective breath, waiting to see which team would emerge victorious.
The Tar Heels, known for their formidable home record, put up a fierce fight, but in the end, it was Stanford who managed to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
The Cardinal, fueled by their determination to make history, played with a level of passion and grit that ultimately paid off, as they handed North Carolina a stunning upset.
Blakes, the hero of the hour, described the final shot, saying it was a play they had practiced countless times, but never thought they would have to use it in such a high-pressure situation.
Despite being a relatively low-scoring game, the action was non-stop, with both teams creating scoring opportunities and playing tenacious defense.
For Stanford, the win marked a significant milestone, as they had never beaten North Carolina before, and to do so on their home turf made it all the more sweet.
The Cardinal will look to build on this momentum as they head into their next game, while North Carolina will have to regroup and reassess their strategy after this tough loss.
The fans, meanwhile, were treated to an unforgettable game, one that will go down in history as one of the greatest upsets of all time.
