The "shot" itself was just a putback, but this N.C. Those two programs have gone through plenty of dramatic Big Dance moments. Side note: there's a lot of UConn and Duke on this list.
It looked like the Clemson defender was expecting George to pass, but instead, he rose and fired. George sent Clemson home from the NCAA tournament with a turnaround jumper as time expired:Īn underrated aspect of this is George's slight fake once he catches the ball.
George's shot was fantastic, but Scott Burrell's baseball pass was probably the best thing about this play. MORE: College basketball rankings Tate George, UConn, 1990 The Blue Devil one of the most decorated players in college basketball history, and shots like these explain why. The degree of difficulty wasn't as high on this look against UConn, but Laettner still had to double-pump to get it off: But Laettner was clutch long before that shot. Sure, his 1992 buzzer beater against Kentucky is his most significant moment. Christian Laettner, Duke, 1990ĭidn't take long for Laettner's name to appear for a second time on this list. You've likely seen this shot plenty of times, and for good reason. The best player in the sport knocking down a ridiculous shot as time expired against fellow powerhouse Kentucky you can't write it much better. This shot only added to the legend of Laettner. It still might be the most famous March Madness buzzer beater ever, though Jenkins' game-winner has a place in that discussion now. Of course Laettner's shot against Kentucky in 1992 was going to make the list. But Hamilton, who went on to have a long NBA career, came through when it mattered most. It was the Huskies' third shot of the possession, and both teams played pinball for a while. He missed an easier shot on the same possession, but hit this tough fadeaway as time expired. Hamilton hit a last-second dagger to send UConn to the Elite Eight in 1998, and the manner in which he did so was enthralling. MORE: College basketball national champions Rip Hamilton, UConn, 1998 The baseball pass was well executed, as was the quick pitch to Drew for the game winner. Something to note: Valpo was trailing by two when Drew hit his shot the pressure was enormous. He rose to fame when he hit this dagger against Ole Miss in the 1998 tournament. Drew, playing for his dad Homer Drew, is now the head man at Vanderbilt. Bryce Drew, Valparaiso, 1998ĭidn't have to wait long for the full-court pass that turned into a 3. Instead, Jesperson went and drained a half-court buzzer beater. Most teams try a full-court pass and turnaround jumper (as we'll see later). Northern Iowa only had 2.7 seconds when it inbounded the ball. But the shot itself was far more improbable: Northern Iowa-Texas was a Round of 64 game. No, Jesperson's shot didn't have the stakes attached that Jenkins' did. Jenkins' shot will be played on March Madness highlight reels forever. The immediate court storm from Villanova. Charles Barkley going nuts on the Turner set. Jay Wright's stone cold demeanor as the shot went in. It doesn't get much better than Jenkins' 3 to win the national championship against North Carolina in 2016. The Tar Heels' Marcus Paige hit a shot a few seconds prior that seemed like it would go down in history in time. Here are nine of the best ever March Madness buzzer-beaters. March Madness is the greatest time of the year, and buzzer beaters make up some of the most memorable March Madness moments in history.
