Valparaiso earned a memorable Missouri Valley Conference home win over Illinois State on Wednesday night as junior guard Markus Golder banked in an unlikely half-court buzzer-beater.
Trailing 56-55 with under four seconds to play, Illinois State’s Zach Copeland missed a free throw as Golder retrieved the defensive rebound, took a few dribbles and launched a one-handed floater.
The shot banked in to give the Crusaders the unlikely win as Golder finished with 10 points.
