Chronicling NCAA Tournament buzzer beaters.
I define a "buzzer beater" as a shot that will win or tie where the ball is in the air with less than a second left in the second half or overtime.
Here's the list so far:
Belmont -- MISSED 3-POINTER, Justin Hare. Duke 71, Belont 70.
Drake -- MISSED LAY-UP, Adam Emmenecker. Drake 88, Western Kentucky 88 (end of regulation)
Western Kentucky -- 3-POINTER GOOD, Ty Rogers. Western Kentucky 101, Drake 99 (OT).
Stanford -- MISSED 3-POINTER, Fred Washington. Stanford 71, Marquette 71 (end of regulation).
Butler -- MISSED JUMPER, Michael Green, blocked by Wayne Chism (Tennessee). Tennessee 63, Butler 63 (end of regulation).
Mississippi State -- MISSED 3-POINTER, Jamont Gordon. Memphis 77, Mississippi State 74.
So far, that makes 1-for-6 shooting, 1 of 4 from 3-point range. Credit the defenses for keeping the miracle shots at bay. So far, teams are defending buzzer beaters very well. Rogers was the only player to make one, and his came from about 35 feet away, ata steep angle, and against a double-team.
More as they happen.
