In Monday night college basketball action, UConn guard Shabazz Napier hit a shot at the buzzer to give the Huskies a 65-64 win over the visiting Florida Gators.
In the final UConn offensive possession, Napier missed a jumper from just inside the three-point line with under two seconds left that missed the rim completely. However, the ball was tipped back out to Napier by teammate DeAndre Daniels, giving Napier a chance to put up another jumper from the free throw line just before the buzzer sounded. This time Napier hit the shot, and the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion erupted.
Here's what it looked like from courtside:
Napier was the star of the game for UConn, not only by hitting the game-winning shot but by leading the Huskies in scoring with 26 points.
