BUZZER BEATER(S): VMI Had To Do It Three Times

((HT: ESPN))

To win in four overtimes over Gardner-Webb

Brian Brown, DJ Covington, and Tim Marshall all had to hit shots to keep their Big South Conference contest going...

And in the 4th free period, it all finally went the Keydets way...


"Bless my guys. I just kept telling them to believe," VMI coach Duggar Baucom said after the game. "Some of those overtimes, we were completely out of it. Miraculous things had to happen and they did. I am super proud of my guys."

And, by the way, other than it being the longest game of the season...
Duggar is the best name we've come across this season...

BUZZER BEATER: Jerome Hill's Tip In Wins It For Gardner-Webb

Jerome Hill is a hero today on the Gardner-Webb campus in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. 

Hill had 15 points for the Bulldogs and the biggest was his final two, a tip in at the buzzer that capped a wild final minute as Gardner-Webb defeated Big South Conference rival Coastal Carolina 66-65.

Hill’s 15 points is a career high and the third time he’s reached double figures.  Just a freshman Hill has seen his minutes increase since Gardner-Webb began Big South Conference play. 

Gardner-Webb is now 10-8 overall, 2-2 in the Big South Conference.
