Tri-fecta of BU Buzzer-beaters

[LittleBrave]

A poster recently reminded me that there have been 3 incredible last-second game winning 3-point shots for BU over the last 6 seasons. Let's reminisce, shall we?

Arch Madness / March 2007
Here is the first, in St. Louis in 2007, when Mr. Franklin jacked up a contested 3-pointer vs. UNI to send the Braves to the semis to face the eventual Sweet 16 Salukis.

March 2009
Another game which propelled the Braves to a semi-final game - this time in the newest NCAA post-season tourney, the CIT - in 2009, when Chris Roberts sent the Peoria crowd into a mad frenzy after the most unbelievable shot in BU history.

January 2013
And the most recent of game-winners was a great ending to a crazy final 4 minutes in which the shot should never have happened!

Good moments, Braves fans...let's keep 'em rolling!!!

Though not a 3 pointer, the Les to Hawkins length of the court pass, and a turn around jumper by the Hawk as time expired, in Des Moines back in the 80's during the 32-3 season was one of my greatest memories. 2 days later in Dayton he hit a buzzer beater to tie the game and the Braves won in overtime. My favorite BU season. Great coach, great teams, great kids.

And of course the memorable buzzer beater by Deon Jackson also against Missouri State (SW Missouri at that time) that won the 1996 MVC tournament semifinal game.

I have both of the Jim Les to Hersey Hawkins buzzer beaters on VHS and still watch often - but maybe someone like Dave Snell with updated technology can upload those clips to YouTube..

I've said all along that we are really lucky to have a play by play guy as good as Snell! I hope he stays around town for a very long time... He's the consummate professional.

I've been listening to him for over 20 years, starting when I was at Bradley. I hope he is around for another 20 to 25 years.
