Best buzzer beater in MU history

While on pleasant memory lane.
What were the most memorable buzzer beaters in MU Basketball?

The Markus to Sam inbound has to be on the list.

Wasn't a true buzzer beater, but Vander's layup to cap the comeback against Davidson in the 1st round of the Elite 8 season is a favorite of mine.

If we're doing worst buzzer beaters then I'm saying half our losses in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons

DJames against Valparaiso.   

Sam.
Novak.
Doc.
Whitehead.


All great.   Biggest is probably Whitehead.

I have a distinct childhood memory of Wardle hitting a buzzer beater against Louisville to cap a huge comeback. Anyone got a video?

Junior hitting the three to tie the game against UConn was the best one I was physically at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k378Ag1Tc30. IIRC, it was the first three we hit all game.

Whitehead in the F4, Novak vs. Notre Dame, and Hauser vs. Creighton have to be up there

There was also the 3/4 court buzzer beater by Gardner that got waved off. I think Derrick Wilson had one too

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

I was at the Wardle game in Louisville January 1998. Furious comeback from 16-18 down. Long buzzer beater jump shot. 19,000+ at Freedom Hall went stone cold silent. My 5 buddies and I were anything but silent. Felt lucky to get out unharmed, and I've been to more Packers/Bears and Brewers/Cubs/WSox games than I can count

How can I forget Luke’s shot.  Put that at #2 and drop the others down a notch. Was there at the old Arena for that one as well.

My favorite: Doc Rivers half-court shot vs. ND 1981

https://247sports.com/college/marquette/Article/Glen-Doc-Rivers-beats-ND-at-the-Buzzer-on-Jan-10-1981-104771325/

This.

But since I was there and had an almost front row seat to it, I liked Jerel McNeal's steal and buzzer beater against USF at USF, my brother's alma mater.
https://tv5.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=270280058

- Jerel McNeal had a hunch Marquette was going to be fine.

"Everybody just had a look in their eyes like: 'Hey, we're going to pull it out. We're not going to lose this game," the sophomore guard said Sunday after stealing a pass and driving nearly the length of the floor to make a layup at the buzzer to give the Golden Eagles (No. 20 ESPN/USA Today; No. 15 AP) a 70-68 victory over South Florida.

Still one of the biggest most unexpected shots in MU history......Was in the first row behind Hank.....Better connections on tickets then than now.....LOL.....It was about 6 to 8 feet past the quarter hash.....Rivers for some reason either got the pass or was dribbling and was going out of bounds.....Rose up and shot it from the side hip.....From my vantage point......It was a $hit.....it is off.....Left.....But then it kissed off the backboard perfectly.....It was really moving.....The only way it could have gone in was off the bank.....Hank almost had a heart attack.....Did his best "Jefferson imitation"......Was on the court over the players bench in seconds......The court was completely filled......

Nothing better than beating Notre Dame.....Only more satisfying win was when Wade blew out Kentucky......

I think that was the Kelly Tripucka game where I had his "goat".....He had just gotten his hair permed and was giving It to him.....He kept on looking over at the MU bench when it was the guy behind the bench that was giving him $hit.....Pretty funny....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcZz-er3pEE

the one I came here to post. I was at a bar for an alumni event talking to a MU buddy whose wife made him go to a work event that night, doing the play-by-play over the phone for the final shot. When it went in I started screaming. He may have lost hearing for a while but it was worth it.

Mason's was awesome too. Crean was going after Pitino, who was constantly out of the coaches box and working the refs hard. Crean gave it right back to him. After the game it was discovered Pitino had made up fake newspaper headlines and articles where TC allegedly had been bashing Louisville players. A Bradley Center employee found them and gave them to TC.
