Best Angles of Reece Beekman's Game-Winning Three Against Duke

See the best angles of Reece Beekman's game-winning three-pointer to lift the Cavaliers over the Blue Devils at Cameron

Matt Newton | Feb 8, 2022

Through the first two and a half seasons of his collegiate career, Reece Beekman made an average of 0.5 threes per game. The sophomore guard has made a total of 25 threes on 82 attempts through his first 49 games as a Cavalier.

Despite the low quantity, two of those three-pointers are up there among the clutchest shots in recent UVA basketball history, which is filled with some big-time shots at big-time moments.

The first was Beekman's buzzer-beating three to lift Virginia over Syracuse in the quarterfinals of the 2021 ACC Tournament.

The second came on Monday night at Cameron Indoor, as Beekman drained a three-pointer with just 1.1 left on the clock to silence the crowd and give UVA a major 69-68 victory over No. 7 Duke.

Of course, some were quick to point out that the Cavaliers managed to take down Duke in their final game against Coach K in Cameron Indoor.

That's the last time Coach K will play Virginia in Cameron Indoor.
