The bank was open for the Syracuse Orange late at the Carrier Dome on Wednesday night. 

With the score tied at 75 apiece and roughly eight seconds remaining in a pivotal home contest against the Duke Blue Devils, Syracuse forward Tyler Lydon retrieved a defensive rebound before passing off the ball to guard John Gillon. 

Gillon sped down the court, pulled up several steps behind the key and banked in a three-pointer as time expired to give the Orange a 78-75 victory. Students and fans immediately stormed the court, as there was no doubt the shot left Gillon's hands before the horn sounded. 

The Orange improved to 17-12 overall and bolstered their NCAA tournament hopes with the win over the No. 10 team in the nation.
