If you go and like LU basketball on facebook, they have the pure video/audio feed of the play. Best quality I've seen yet.

We helped break a 29 road game losing streak tonight, and we no longer have the tiebreaker against HPU, and of course don't have it against LU from the head-to-head loss. :brownbag

See isnt it therapeutic when you can post something encouraging about LU basketball instead of leaking deep seated bitterness toward someone you dont like?

video was good (that place looks like my church's gym) but that thread below it was even better:

I think I know 2 people that were snuggling on the couch watching the game together...

you get one more chance right now to catch this on ESPN before they roll over to Live Sportscenter at 9 AM (the top Plays are at the top of the rundown last I saw)

Amazing win! I lost the video feed in the last minute, saw the final score in live stats, and went to bed thinking we had lost another close one. Needless, to say, reading this thread this morning has made my day! :D

Buzzer beating winners like this are really rare. I can only remember a few in the 38 years I have been following LU (and LBC) hoops. Freddie Morgan's half-courter sticks out, along with an OT 3 by Mike Minette, and I believe Larry Jackson had one against CCU. I'm sure there are others, but not many. This was a special moment. Congrats to Antwan and the team!

Frame grab from video ...

There doesn't appear to be any decent stills. Then again, this was a Chuck South game.

And for the record, this shot was longer than Freddie's but both were dramatic to the nth degree. Freddie's shot was the athletic highlight of my time as a student.

It was nice to be on this end of the final score and in dramatic fashion as well. Great game!! Wife and I were estatic and in disbelief watching that final play. We both slept well last night :D

This is Antwan's second appearance on the Top 10 in about a year if Im not mistaken and the second time he has factored in a buzzer beater as well. How bout the massive emotional shift last night from disappointment at a gutwrenching loss (and snatching defeat from the jaws of victory as jbock originally noted) to joy and excitement at making Sportscenter and getting a huge win that could set off a big end of season run

I really think we could be setting ourselves up for a great final run. This team has the senior leadership (Jesse, Minaya, even JB) and the confidence to get it done.

I wouldnt know how we are doing recently. Some one is too busy locating pictures, when they should be updating the schedule and results.

When he put the ball on the floor my heart stopped. I thought there was no way there was enough time for a dribble, but there was. WOW! What an awesome win and an awesome memory with the shot and Alan's terrific call!

We have to keep the tempo up and beat presby. Yes the run is coming!

If you look back to our run in 2004, we closed the year (including the Big South tournament) winning 11 of 13. we've now won 5 of 8 and are playing very good basketball.

I will go look on libertyflames.com, Sorry Sly. Thats the second dig of the year on that particular issue. I feel like now would be a good time for you to put the donate button up. So I can pay penance.

It's so funny if you hit the pause button right after Burrus hits the shot, from the opposite court angle, pause and look at the expression on the CSU band's faces. It's priceless. I have a picture but I can't figure out how to get it on here.

I always rewind clips like this to see fan reaction. the band guy was hilarious and it looks like when antwan was "galloping" down the sideline a chuck south student was about to step out like he wanted a piece of burrus. great finish and a nice win for the flames!
