You got to love college basketball...

In the Stands Report by Bookemdano: You got to love college basketball.

What happened at McKale Center last night will make all the sports channels highlight reels for the next week and a half. A buzzer beater to beat all buzzer beaters. Somehow Arizona's Kyle Fogg unleashed a pass to a somewhat startled Nic Wise who in turn threw up a three pointer at the buzzer to give the Arizona Wildcats an 83-82 overtime win over Lipscomb University.

When they turned the lights off at McKale last night, the Lipscomb coach was probably still wandering around the confines, pleading his case for another replay to anyone who would listen. You can't blame him. It was that close. A half a dozen replays...heck I couldn't tell. It was the Wildcats' fifth win of the season and it was over a college from Nashville, Tennessee, that has a shade over 3,000 students.

Wins are not coming easy for the Wildcats this season, but last night's miracle shot by Wise will be remembered by the Arizona fans who were in attendance for a long, long time. On paper, it shouldn't have been a contest, even for the very young, and sometimes bungling Wildcats. If there ever was a sure-fire "W" on the Wildcats' schedule, this was the one.

My goodness,the most heralded alum to come out of Lipscomb is crooner Pat Boone. If Nic's shot had bounced off the rim, Boone would of come out of retirement and exchanged those white buckskin shoes of his for some basketball shoes with a Bison logo on them. The Lipscomb University Bison played more like a herd of buffaloes heading for a watering hole last night. For 44 minutes and 59 seconds they outplayed the Wildcats.

Unfortunately for Lipscomb, the last second (or should I say fraction of a second) belonged to Nic Wise. The Wildcats' senior guard didn't disappear in this one. He scored 26 points,i ncluding the buzzer beater that put the 13,000 fans at McKale into a frenzy.
