The play of the game was Berry stealing the ball, driving to the basket, and laying it in for 2 points giving NC the lead at the 1:36 mark. If it happened at :01 it would've been "game over" too but at 1:36 there's a lot of time left for players to do good things and bad things that affect the outcome.

The stat of the game is the main reason why SU lost, in the [B]last 3 minutes[/B] SU had 5 possessions, took 7 shots, and scored [B]0 points[/B]. During this time period, here's what the players did (the numbers next to the names represent the combined positive and negative effect the players had on the game):

Chukwu (+2) - 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 turnover
Brissett (-1) - 1 rebound, 1 block, 3 missed shots (0-3)
Battle (-3) - 2 missed shots plus 1 shot blocked (0-3)
Howard (-1) - 1 missed shot (0-1)
Dolezaj (0) - no stats

Stat-wise Chukwu was the only player whose pluses outweighed his minuses. It was a bad turnover for sure but it would've been nice if the others would've made a basket --- one basket might've won it.
