We’ve been talking about Johnny Dawkins’s clutch plays for a couple of days now, and we thought that it was time to get closer to the present and take a look at one of the great clutch plays in recent history: Isaiah Evans’s game winner last year against Florida, then the defending national champions. Duke was trailing 66-64 with time running out.

As you’ll see or possibly remember, Evans screened for Cameron Boozer, who was obviously the first option. But the Gators naturally double-teamed him, so Evans swung over to the left, behind the three-point line, and was wide open.

As the defenders followed the ball, he could have tossed it back to Boozer, who might have gotten a shot in the lane to tie it, but Evans, with the confidence of a deadeye shooter, stepped up and nailed the three, which gave Duke a one-point lead.

Good defense wrapped the game up, but Showtime Slim gets full credit for a masterful clutch shot.
