Rob Wright lll's buzzer-beating 3-pointer caps off 22-point comeback to lift No. 10 BYU over Clemson

Willis Reed in the 1970 NBA finals, Reggie Miller scoring eight points in nine seconds, Steph Curry's 54-piece, Michael Jordan's 55.

And now for BYU fans, Rob Wright lll's buzzer-beating 3-pointer will be added to the list of all-time moments at the basketball Mecca: Madison Square Garden.

It was No. 10 BYU that miraculously got the 67-64 win over Clemson on Tuesday night, thanks to the heroics of AJ Dybantsa and Wright. It marked the largest second-half comeback in program history as the Cougars overcame a 22-point deficit.

But how did it get to that point?

The worst half of college basketball this season

The fact that BYU was put in a situation where Wright could take a shot to win the game was a miracle in itself.

In the first half, BYU didn't just play a bad game of basketball, it had statistically the worst stretch of hoops of any Power Four team this season.

In the final 6:59 of the first half, Clemson went on a 21-0 run. It was tied for the biggest run allowed by a Power Four team this season. That run grew to 22-0 in the opening moments of the second half, making it officially the worst stretch of basketball in the country this season.

The Cougars shot 9 of 32 from the field and only 2 of 13 from deep. They were also out rebounded by nine in the first 20 minutes of play.

The Tigers' Jestin Porter hit four 3-pointers and had 14 points in that stretch. Clemson was playing better, harder basketball. Plain and simple.

Dybantsa's all-time second half

Down by 21 at halftime, Dybantsa would not go down without a fight.

The potential No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft played with a noticeably harder motor, becoming more physical and dialed in.

Almost instantly, the Cougars started to claw back. Halfway through the period, BYU had mounted a 20-3 run. Dybantsa owned the court.

Dybantsa scored 22 points in the second half, went 8 for 8 from the line including multiple and-one makes, and dominated the midrange.

He also showcased his passing and ability to run an offense.

The most impressive stretch came in the final four minutes of the game.

Down by three, Dybantsa drove into the lane, stopped for what looked to be a midrange jumper, and found Keba Keita in the lane for a wide open slam.

Next possession, Dybantsa threw a lob from the 3-point line for the Keita slam that gave BYU the lead after being down by 22 earlier in the half.

On the following play, Dybantsa found Kennard Davis for the wide open 3-pointer.

On the very following play, Dybantsa yet again found Keita for the alley-oop slam.

Four possessions. Four assists by the highest ranked recruit in BYU history.

Two plays later, Dybantsa performed one of his best highlights in his career, dropping a right-handed hammer in the crowded lane. BYU led by six with a little over a minute left.

Dybantsa's final stat line consisted of 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists. He scored or assisted on 34 of the Cougars' 45 second half points.

Rob Wright lll caps off the comeback

Down by five with 25 seconds left, Clemson's Dillon Hunter scored a 3-pointer and layup to tie the game with only five seconds left.

After bringing the ball past half court, the Cougars called a timeout with 1.3 seconds left to set up a final play.

Wright took the inbound pass from Mihailo Boskovic a few feet behind the right side of the 3-point line and rose up near two Tiger defenders.

Money.

BYU wins 67-64.

It was Dybantsa's amazing play and the Cougars' overall shift in physicality that gave BYU the win on Tuesday. BYU fans likely won't forget this win anytime soon.

This shot now moves BYU to 8-1 on the season, with the lone loss coming to No. 5 UConn by two points.

The Cougars will host UC Riverside on Saturday at the Marriott Center.
