Michigan State is in the midst of a battle with No. 11 seed Syracuse in the second round of the Midwest Region.
The No. 3 seed Spartans are having a tough time adjusting to the Orange’s length in the 2-3 zone as a low-scoring and slow-paced game has made it close.
Thankfully for Michigan State, guard Matt McQuaid nailed a circus buzzer-beating three-pointer after Syracuse’s Matt Moyer blocked his first attempt. The ridiculous bank shot at the end of the first half gave the Spartans a 25-22 lead.
WHAT. A. FINISH. 😳

McQuaid’s unlikely buzzer-beater had a lot of things happening in one play. It’s one of the more unique basketball plays we’ll see in the NCAA tournament.
It also provided a great photo of McQuaid about to release the second attempt in mid-air. So many great reactions in that photo.
