Show Me the Madness

Virginia Tech, Stanford, Coppin State Highlight Trio of Buzzer-Beaters on Wednesday
Madness comes in threes! Not one, not two, but three game-winning buzzer-beaters stormed the courts on Wednesday. We also added another team to the bracket, and Champ Week is a full go.
Wednesday’s Buzzer-Beaters
Virginia Tech beat Clemson (76-75, OT) on Darius Maddox’s buzzer-beater 3. That shot kept the Hokies’ tournament hopes alive, but they’re still on the outside of the bubble looking in. In the Pac-12, Stanford beat Arizona State (71-70) with a banked buzzer-beater from James Keefe. Still not entertained? We go to the MEAC where Nendah Tarke called game to lift Coppin State over Howard (59-57). That’s three game-winners in one night, and the madness is in full effect.
Buzzer-Beater Highlights
The 12th bid to the big dance goes to Colgate. The Red Raiders were the only team to punch their ticket on Wednesday after throttling Navy (74-58) for the Patriot League Championship. They joined 11 teams already in the field (see yesterday’s edition).
