Guilford was down 14 with just over 3 minutes left in the ODAC semi against Hampden-Sydney. This is how it ended

Crazy to think, today, if Guilford doesn't get into the tournament, this shot didn't actually save their season - PLUS it probably kept Roanoke from being ranked this week, which means it kept Maryville from getting the extra RRO win they probably needed to get in.

Of course, Guilford over RMC.

This one is the GOAT!

The GOAT, IMHO in D3 is in the 1981 Title Game - played on Augustana's home court, where Potsdam's Leroy Witherspoon (a freshman) hits a 38 footer at the buzzer to tie and they win in overtime. Doubtful there's ever been a more meaningful D3 buzzer beater. Freshman, down 2, other team's at home, National Championship game.  Video is copyrighted unfortunately.

I did find this link, forgot it was out there, the sequence starts with a made Augustana FT to put them up 57-55 at 1:36:30 - shot happens at 1:36:40 to send the game to overtime.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPFQLX9i2XM

Greatest in terns of the stakes, but not in terms of distance.

2000 season, sectionals: UW-Eau Claire's Sherm Carstensen hits a three at the buzzer to defeat conference champ/rival UW-Stevens Point, 60-58, to send the Blugolds into the Final Four, where they would then beat Salem State, but would lose in the championship game to Calvin...

That was such a memorable play that UWSP's coach Jack Bennett mentioned it and Carstensen by name in 2005 during a welcome home rally for the Pointers, who were bringing home the championship trophy for the second straight year...

That was a really good game.  Great last minute with the Tigers hitting two 3 balls to take their final lead.  TBU is certainly a top 20 team.

That's a great backdoor cut!

I don't have video of it handy, but I'll put out 1999 UW-Platteville for the win against Hampden-Sydney in double overtime of the national title game as my take for Greatest Backdoor Cut of All Time.

It is amazing to see how the 3FG has changed the nature of the game!

truly incredible how the CNU player was able to create so much space for the winning layup, like an extended arm's length of space

I was impressed with how the 6'8" Barber drove down the court!

no doubt, the Captains could use that kind of stiff arm on the gridiron next year

Haha. Except he had both hands on the ball as he went up. Far from a stiff arm.
