On Tuesday, last-second scores led to some shakeups in the college basketball world. From Kansas’s jumper that handed No. 1 Duke a tough loss to Maryland’s nine-point comeback in the last two minutes to take down Georgetown, Nov. 15 was a crazy day for basketball.
But, just in case you missed these buzzer-beater-type moments or just want to watch them again, here are some of the best end-of-game moments of Tuesday:
