Is the Valpo game two years ago the last game MU won on a last second shot? We seem to lose an awful lot of these close games, so I was trying to think of when we last won one of these nail bitters and that's all I can recall. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

NC State back in December, DJ hit the three to win the game with :01 left on the clock.
NC State this year on a James 3.
NC State was 68-65 .. while it's a game-winner, it's not the clutch game-winner come-from-behind that counts more.
I mean, DJ misses that shot, we go to OT. Still might win. The pressure to hit it and win, miss it and lose .. isn't there.
.. How about @USF, McNeal steals the ball gets layup to win .. 2 years ago?
What year did DJ hit the FT's against Pitt?
Based on McNeal's performance with last second shots (2 misses against Stanford - he missed the shot before Lopez hit the game winner, missed shot against Syracuse, and missed shot against Villanova), I'm surprised he made the layup against South Florida two years ago.
Al that being said, it certainly seems like MU loses more than its fair share of games on a last second shot.
I believe it was Wardle...fade away three in the corner with no time remaining at Louisville.
