How did Kyle Guy knock down the clutch free throws to send UVA to their first National Championship in history? Tons of confidence honed through years of practice
CLOSE SportsPulse: A controversial foul call played a pivotal role in Virginia beating Auburn in the Final Four and both teams voiced their opinions on it after the game. USA TODAYVirginia’s sharp-shooting guard had just drained two free throws in the Cavaliers’ Final Four game against Auburn to tie it at 62 with 0.6 seconds left following a controversial foul call on the Tigers’ Samir Doughty.
Guy was right about his teammates’ confidence. Ty Jerome knew the game was over before Guy even made the three free throws. — USA TODAY Sports April 7, 2019Guy, who also made a clutch 3-pointer with nine seconds left, admitted on the CBS interview after the game that his cool and calm demeanor at the charity stripe masqueraded how “terrified” he really felt. But the more he processed those feelings after the game, the more he came to terms with the courage he found within.
Guy said it was ultimately the pain from the UMBC loss that prompted him to dig down deep for strength to overcome his ongoing battle with anxiety. And on Saturday, with the biggest stakes there are in college basketball, Guy stepped to the free-throw line with that built-in badge of courage.
