Ok, how about our wining buzzer beaters

[Westcoast]

Enough of the woe is me. Lets discuss some of the better buzzer beaters in RU history.
1. G Billet hits runner in paint to beat Georgetown in B.E. quarterfinals.
2. Damon Santiago hits turnaround 3 at buzzer to complete 20 point comeback in last 8 minutes to beat Pitt on the road.
3.Earl Johnson hits buzzer beater 3 to beat WVU on the road completing comeback after trailing by 5 With less than 8 seconds to play.
4. G. Billet hits bucket while falling down to beat Notre Dame on the road. I recall him raising his arms in triumph while lying on his back on the floor.
5. Lamizana drills 3 to beat Providence at the buzzer from about 27 feet off feed from Douby who dribbled up court with only a few seconds to play and 2 guys draped all over him.
6. Webb hits 3 at buzzer to take Cuse to overtime at the Carrier Dome. Unfortunately, despite Farmer giving RU, the 2 point lead hitting a 3 With about 10 seconds left in OT, Cuse hit a 3 with 3 seconds left to beat us anyway...

 

[Plum Street]

J. Mitch 4 point play against Villanova .
Earl Johnson I think beat St. John’s at the buzzer too at msg

 

[dfr1966]

I dont recall the year or the opponent, but didnt Jimmie Inglis bank in a 3 pointer from the top of the key to either win or tie a game at the buzzer?

 

[RUBigFrank]

On the other side a court length pass to yinka dare and GW beat us at the RAC

 

[Rutgers25]

Vs Villanova at RAC in 2006. We ended up losing in OT

 

[Rutgers25]

Lamizana banks in 3 to beat Melo and Cuse in 2003

 

[Rutgers25]

JR Inman buzzer beater to beat the Hall in 2008

 

[RutHut]

Didn't Sanders have a last second put back in the tournament last year? Fans have selective memories.

 

[RW90]

Not sure it counts but Douby shooting free throws to sink the Hall?

 

[bac2therac]

Earl Johnson with an ugly 3 that clanged off the rim and went in to beat St Johns at the MSG in 1997 49-47

 

[RUfromNJ]

Sanders had that buzzer beater to force 3OT vs. Illinois.

 

[HallX2]

JR Inman buzzer beater to beat the Hall in 2008

Leading to the infamous Fred Hill/Gonzo handshake line brouhaha.

 

[Sideline20]

Earl Johnson with an ugly 3 that clanged off the rim and went in to beat St Johns at the MSG in 1997 49-47

Yes - I think that's the one Plum Street is referencing above......hit the front rim and bounced in.

 

[Westcoast]

Earl Duncan with finger roll in traffic to beat Kenny Green and URI at Palestra in A-10 Tourney. He switched to left hand to narrowly avoid the block by Green.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Lot of good one here

The georgetwon big east tournamwnt win is my favorite ...we got to right to earn to wear the home uniforms that day by beating national ranked West Virginia in the opening round ...and Georgetown upsetting Miami

They didn't even bring the home unis for the trip. They had to send someone back to the RAC to get them.

Any of several frenetic comebacks to beat OSU in triple OT, at Holiday Festival. I think 7 or 9 points in last 90 seconds, then another 5 points in OT.

One of greatest games ever.

[Mr Magoo]

Wasn’t there another one by Duncan at St. Bonaventure or am I dreaming?

Yes, he hit a 35 or 40 footer on the road to beat the Bonnies. Remember listening on radio.

Lamizana’s shot against Providence had me leap up (I use the term loosely) from my aisle seat in 113 and land on the edge of the aisle step thereby severely rolling my ankle and falling to the ground. The crowd in the aisle is probably what kept be from rolling down 10 step and almost onto the court...and perhaps making Sports Center. I could hardly walk for a month...ah, memories.

Ohio State was a great win in 1979.

IIRC - we were down 7 with 14 seconds to play. Absolutely one of the greatest games ever!

Yes, that’s right. Johnson had a few big moments here pre-strip free throws and taking Iona to the tournament .

did Billet hit a buzzer beater to beat Monmouth

Todd ? I think someone did heat a buzzer beater at Monmouth . Seemed fairly recent.

How could I forget. I was broadcasting that game for Wrsu but our location was above the green seats. The players looked like ants and the binoculars were used all day. Tough way to do play by play. Totally agree one of the best games ever as we overcame Kelvin Ramsey’s I think 35 points and Herb Williams. We had a real good team in 78-79 and really thought we would have given Michigan State a run for their money in the Final Four before we were tragically upset by St. John’s. I had PTSD for 10 years after that game even though I didn’t even know what is was.

LOL

No pain, no gain!

I bet it was probably worth it.

Heck, if we could make such sacrifices to get the win, I’m sure there would have been ~7500 sprained ankles last Saturday night.

 

[ColonelRutgers]

did Billet hit a buzzer beater to beat Monmouth

Geoff hit a layup against Monmouth with time running down to beat Monmouth 57-55 his freshman year of 1995-96.

Yup..and I was never so happy to be vertically challenged,

 

[Rutgers36]

Geoff Billet beat Monmouth with a buzzer beater at the RAC. I think it was his freshman year with Wenzel.

 

[Rutgers36]

Sorry Colonel didn't see your post.

LOL. MSG was not too kind to us WRSU broadcasters! What a great tournament as well, as OSU upset Duke and we beat the Johnnies for the second time that year (unfortunately there was no third time) to set up the final. Good memory, as Ransey had 38 and Jammin' James had 31. They were named co-MVPs of the tourney.

I don’t remember that one.
Myles Mack beat Monmouth at the buzzer a few years ago.

Yes, I believe it was a quarterfinal game.
I think Duncan also hit a halfcourt shot to win at UMass. This was before the days of every game on tv. Heard it on the radio.

 

[JavaDunk18]

Daryl Strickland hit 40 foot skyball to tie UNC at MSG in late 70s ..I think we lost in OT though.

Think it was his first game too

This is correct ...about 30 feet ...during the days of no three pointers j

 

[RUfromNJ]

I believe Greg Echenique laid in a buzzer beater to win a hideous early-season game against Drexel back in ‘08.

In Herve's first season we beat G'town. I don't remember if Herve hit a game winner or not, but it was his coming out party and when it was clear that Waters had the team Playing, with a capital P. Given another year, GW woudl have gotten us to the tourney. What an effing s show basketball has been since, until now.
