So, let discuss the POV that Nova should have fouled UNC

There were people who thought that Nova should have fouled UNC while up 3 with about 13 seconds left.
Now, if you foul, you put pressure on yourself to make the free throws. If you don't foul, you force UNC to make a play.
UNC made a spectacular play, but Nova made the right decision to not foul even if they had gone to OT.

No way with 13 seconds left. I've always heard the theory that you should foul up 3, but only with less than 5 seconds left.

I don't think you should foul.
Chances of UNC making a three aren't great (even though they did), I don't like the idea of giving them two easy chances at the line, not even mentioning the disaster if they get a rebound.

Right. It's one of those spots where it's too early to foul. There's too much time left. If you foul and they make them now you're going to have to make extreme pressure free throws.
You foul when the play starts where it's going to be the last sequence of the game.

Not fouling was definitely the right call. UNC panicked and took a dumb off balance shot too early. It just happened to go in

Nova is probably the best free throw shooting team in the NCAA, I would have taken my chances in a free throw shooting contest than a 1 in 3 shot.

UNC has pressure to make the free throws too, they miss one and they're screwed.

You don't foul at 13 seconds, but when it gets to 5 you do

Whenever my team is down three, I hope they don't foul, so conversely, I would foul.
