There used to be a page on D3hoops.com dedicated to Buzzer Beaters, but understandably, it was hard to keep updated. It's tournament time, so now is a good time as any to open up a dedicated board.
Now with Twitter and YouTube and nearly all games online, I think it would be fairly easy to at least post links to the videos. I know there have been a few this year and since this is a new thread, we could post buzzer beaters from year's past as well.
Let's try to limit it to D3 men's or women's games, please.
Last night, Denison beat Wittenberg in a NCAC quarterfinals game.

Ok, breaking my own rule on this one. A classic halftime tradition: layup, free throw, 3-pointer, half court shot in 30 seconds.

That's likely the most-watched basketball clip ever on which I'm doing the play-by-play ... and I'm doing it for the opposing school's livestream.
(Still waiting for my check to arrive from Elmhurst, by the way. ;))
Not a buzzer beater, but nice Nichols teamwork on a dunk.

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.

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
I'll agree because it was the title game but here's a sweet 16 game Scranton @ Middlebury 2012 with Coach Danzig(400th victory Saturday) running around the court afterwards:

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.
Three years ago today, the Greatest Backdoor Cut of All Time (https://twitter.com/northsider89/status/1236505422179287040?s=46&t=RJeLRitD9PAcbxhzLgpuFg).
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.

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

A good LB would run through that. It was a small nudge.
Barber did travel on that drive; his left foot was on the floor when he gathered the ball, stepped with the right then the left again before shooting; once you lift your pivot foot, you have to release the ball before touching down with it again.

Actually, the entire game was like that. The refs let them both be physical and let them play. I was concerned early on that it might get chippy. Kudos to both teams for understanding how the refs were calling it and just playing the game accordingly.
I cheated, it's D2.
