Caleb McCarty committed a reach-in foul on Norfolk State's Christian Ings with eight seconds remaining in regulation.

McCarty had just tied the game at 65-65 on a layup, catching a ricochet after Jayden Johnson tipped the ball for a steal.

Apparently forgetting or not realizing that it was a tied ballgame, McCarty then reached in to foul Ings as he advanced the ball up court, as if South Carolina St. had to send Ings to the foul line to stop the clock and get the ball back for another shot.

Drayton Jones got the rebound on Ings ' miss, setting up Johnson for a last shot but he missed his jump shot at.
