Norm Peterson Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Just saw a clip of some HS kid with that miracle half-court shot for the win as time expires. It got me wondering how many times we've been on the good end of one of those or on the bad end. Good end that I can think of was Charles Richardson draining a trey for a win at Texas Tech. That was damn near miraculous. If the Tech player doesn't try to save that ... tcp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointGuard Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 My memory isn't all that good, but I am thinking the following year they made a long three at the buzzer to beat us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that, but it was more of a well-designed and well-executed play that didn't involve much luck. They got their best shooter open at the top of the key and he burried it. In Collier's first season, we managed to piss away a win at home against Iowa State where they inbounded to half-court and called timeout and then got a high-percentage bucket at the buzzer for the win. But that, again, was more of a well-designed play that they executed. The Tech player saving the ball into the hands of an historically bad 3-point shooter who takes a dribble-shoot trey for the win … that's just dumb luck.

Definitely was A&M, because Bill Byrne made a big deal out of it after he left NU. Nebraska had about a 17-point lead in that game, too. Horrible snowstorm that night.... Ohio State stole one at Nebraska when Glynn Watson fell down on an under-basket inbound play for the Bucks. That was fortuitous for them, indeed.

Norm Peterson Posted November 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 On the luck side, I would also count how we came back and scored like 14 points in the final 45 seconds to force overtime and eventually get the W, with Thor blocking a shot at the buzzer to preserve the victory. You'd have to kinda count something like that. ReidStag and mwm89 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hskr4life Posted November 26, 2019 Report Share Posted November 26, 2019 On the lucky side... JPJ's long three to beat Illinois a few years ago when Illinois was terrible and we needed the win to get us to the dance. However, we were unlucky that year because the Big 10 was so down that we were playing in a conference that resembled the SWAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to kinda count something like that. That Iowa win was a thing of beauty, Iowa did everything right... until they missed 1 free throw. That allowed JPJ to only have to score on a layup to tie it up. Incredibly fortuitous win by the Big Red on Senior Day last season.

It was A&M on a last second shot from near half court. I was standing on the floor in the student section, giving the Aggie bench hell the whole game. It was a total gut punch of a loss.

AuroranHusker Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 And, the Huskers' Jamel White also botched a wide-open layup in which NU lost to Kevin Durant-led Texas 62-61 in Lincoln.

Handy Johnson Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 I was at an OT loss at the Barn back in 2000, 74-70. Cochran missed a three at the buzzer that would’ve given us the win, then the Gophers made 10-13 FT in the overtime to seal it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm89 Posted November 29, 2019 Report Share Posted November 29, 2019 Maybe more low-percentage than dumb luck, but one of my fondest memories is when Bobby Moore hit the half-court shot against KU as time expired in OT to win it. I'm guessing it was the 77-78 season. Norm Peterson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullbacksympathy Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 Creswell hit basically a half court three before Jamar Johnson’s all time great buzzer beater against KU. Not a lot of people remember Creswell’s shot prior but it kind of kept a few people seated. My dad and I made our way to the b section to watch the end of that one because they had, of course, cleared out.

colhusker Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Wasn't it Pike who has a shot go half way down and come back out vs Misery in Columbia? Think they were undefeated and we dang near got them in the last game of the season. BannedAccount 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
