Honestly... no one is going to beat this: https://youtu.be/P7CyP54B25w

Though last year's Rochester buzzer beater over Chicago is up in the list as well... Jordan Snipes 90-foot heave makes all others pale in comparison.

I believe the next season was the year Guilford was playing Lincoln in the Sweet 16 and Snipes hit a 40-footer, bank-shot to tie the game in regulation at the buzzer. Game went triple-OT and Ben Strong scored 59. There just isn't any video of that one.

If his name is actually Snipes, that is the most fitting name for a long shot maker of all time!

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yep Jordan Snipes. I would know... said his name a LOT especially in that triple-OT game.

I agree that the Rochester one was very good, especially from the sense of being orchestrated vs free lance.

A total shame there is no video.  Ben Strong's game was SO dominant that the four of us in the tourney fantasy contest that season finished 1,2,3,4!  And it would be great to see ANOTHER Snipes' sniper attack!

I have the audio of the call! LOL

It was before we were video webstreaming games. It was nearly impossible to get through the Virginia Wesleyan firewalls (yes, plural) to get the audio feed out... can't imagine how hard it would have been to video stream those games (it was hard enough back in 2014 when I tried to do one game there).

Strong's game matched my whats-his-name from Lincoln... mix in Snipes' shot (hit the backboard so hard the thing was still shaking when they went to tip-off)... add in VWC and Mississippi College coming in and out of their locker rooms to watch and wait... and the rest of the players playing a great game... and it is still one of the best DIII tournament games I have ever seen in person. Too bad the following game between to top ten players ended up being a dud.

Kyle Myrick?

Thanks, Gordon... totally brain fried. Appreciate it!

Nearly the exact thing happened in an Indiana state tournament game last night, two steps shorter maybe.

That was a D3sports.com Production with our won Frank Rossi. I would have to check with him, but I think he ran into a problem with the high-center cam at some point because his tendency is certainly to follow my protocols and have a cam there.

Love it!

If you ever happen to be talking to Frank Rossi and think about it, please give my regards.  Easily one of the best calls I have ever heard.

Actually, I've always thought that the call was somewhat ruined because Frank's partner stepped all over Frank's call and thus made it incoherent. Commentators are supposed to let the PBP guys call the action -- and, yes, that includes the big plays, too. Frank did an ace job of getting it up to that point, though, including the fact that he snuck in the all-important detail about Albertus Magnus not having any timeouts left as the Falcons were inbounding the ball.

I was just checking out Emory's basketball page (cool scrolling accolades, which brought all of this to my attention as well) and I didn't realize how much success they have had recently! 5 straight NCAA births (2013-2017) and riding three straight trips to the Sweet Sixteen (2014-2016) is no easy task. Congrats to the Eagles and the program they have built.

I may be off on this but seems somewhat quite compared to other successful programs recently like Babson/Augustana/St. Thomas/NESCAC School dejour/Wash U. Probably because they have yet to punch their ticket to Salem, but there is always this year!

They tend to get the positives and negatives of geographic isolation that tends to make it a little easier to win the first weekend and more difficult to win the second.  They've certainly had good teams the last few years.  I'm not as high on this year's squad comparatively, but I think they're the favorite in their pod, at least.

I actually disagree... I think the favorite is Hardin-Simmons and not because they are hosting. Nathaniel Jack is the first reason and the rest of this teammates are the second. This is a very good team. I will be actually disappointed if HSU doesn't get out of the weekend.

That Guilford buzzer beater was truly incredible, but I'll take the Albertus Magnus buzzer beater because of the call and the high stakes nature of the shot.

As for Emory, I think it all depends on which team shows up...

They have looked very good at times and awful at others.

I prefer these "buzzer beaters"  ;-)
