Things You Can Do in .6 Seconds in Cameron Indoor Stadium

"Clemson's Hamilton scored with 5.0 seconds left to cut Duke's lead to 66-63. Duke's McRoberts, throwing the ball inbounds, made an errant pass to Hamilton. The Tigers' sharpshooter caught the ball and shot, but the clock didn't begin until the ball was only a few feet above the rim. Officials studied the television monitor and determined 4.4 seconds were left when the ball went through the basket."
