With six seconds left on the clock, Kentucky's Keldon Johnson tied the game 71–71 with a free throw. LSU's Skylar Mays took the ball down the court but missed a layup. Bigby-Williams tipped it in just as the clock expired.

The shot was reviewed and upheld but some found it controversial and thought it should have been called for basket interference. It appears that the ball was over the cylinder when it was tipped in.
