The details on that final play and Anthony Davis’ block

After videoing, writing and blogging from the Cats-Heels on Saturday – and a story at the Wendy’s drive-thru on the way home (oh, the glamorous life) – picked up the remote, fired up the TiVo and went over, frame-by-frame, the final play and Anthony Davis amazing block of John Henson that saved the UK victory. It happened so fast in real-time it was difficult to remember exactly what happened. Here’s what did happen.

With 21.5 seconds left, and Kentucky leading 73-72, Marquis Teague at the free throw line for the one-and-one.
Teague misses the front end off the back iron.
The rebound goes just past Anthony Davis to Reggie Bullock who was the Heel farthest from basket on left side of free-throw lane.
Bullock immediately hands off to UNC point guard Kendall Marshall.

Marshall crosses the mid-court line with 15.1 seconds left.
As he is picked up defensively by Teague, Marshall dribbles from the right side to the top of the key, where he gets a brief screen from John Henson.
Teague goes around the screen and Henson peels off to right baseline, where he is guarded by Terrence Jones. Henson tries to set a screen for Reggie Bullock, who is being guarded by Doron Lamb.
Harrison Barnes is on the left side, away from the play, being guarded by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
As he gets to the left side of the top of the key, Marshall then bounces a pass inside to Tyler Zeller, who is on the left block, about halfway between free-throw line and the basket.
Zeller catches the bounce pass with about 9.4 seconds left, with Anthony Davis on his back.
Zeller tries to make a move to his right but loses the ball on the dribble, and it flies up in the air.
The loose ball goes directly to Henson just off the right baseline.
Jones was guarding Henson, but shading to the lane toward Zeller, and when Zeller made his move into the lane, Jones had come into the lane as well.
Henson grabs the ball with his left hand at about 7.7 seconds left and goes straight up for the jumper on the right baseline.
Meanwhile, Davis sees Henson gets the ball goes in his direction and leaves his feet as Henson releases.
Davis blocks Henson’s shot.
Davis then re-jumps and grabs the ball out of the air with about 5.6 left.
North Carolina players hesitate, then try to go after Davis for the foul, but too late.
Zeller actually takes two skip steps toward the defensive end before he realizes he might need to try and foul Davis.
It’s too late, as Davis is able to get the ball to Teague with about three seconds left, and Teague dribbles out the clock.
Kentucky wins 73-72.
