I can tell you with 100% certainty that Lydon did not pass the ball to Lydon.

Lydon definitely passed it to Battle like he was my girlfriend trying to pass the ball to my 4 month year old cousin.

Team rebound. Lydon only had it in 1 hand.

He lost it, and we were very lucky it found Battles hands.

Interesting! I was sitting on that side and it looked like a passive pass.

Looked to me like the closest Duke guy jarred it loose, and that Lydon momentarily threw his arms up to emphasize that he'd been fouled.
And I think Battle hesitated because he didn't want a GMac/Cooney Special(TM) dart-back interception--particularly with his sight line blocked by Lydon.

Yeah it definitely wasn't a pass. Tatum (I believe) pokes it out of Lydon's hands and luckily right to Battle. Lydon was starting to turn up court, not towards Battle.

Not sure Tatum ever got the ball TBH. It looked more like a "push" pass where he didn't have full control, but was still able to direct it.

Listen to the video at the end after they go off air...
Ravich: "Did he have any idea how much time.. No idea, he had no idea"
Vitale:"Holy . What a game"
Then Vitale gets a text message from Ron Jawarski. haha

I thought he lost it.
Looking back on it, JGIII "should" have passed the ball to Battle, who would have had an uncontested shot.

I'm not sure, either. But it did look like Tatum got his arm into a position where he could poke the ball free as Lydon brought down the rebound.
I'm just glad we're not sitting around lamenting the lack of a foul call there. Because things worked out just fine in the end.

No way, unless you wanted overtime. Nowhere near enough time for the pass, setup, and shot.

could have, not should have
Boeheim has said on every interview I've heard that the key to the play was that they got the ball to the right guy for the shot
