Toby Knight - tip-in v. CIncinnati in '76 NCAA tournament

Tracy Jackson - 30-foot bomb to beat Villanova at the ACC 1980.

A few nights later, Tracy hit a jumper with about 5 seconds left (not a buzzer beater, of course) to beat Maryland by a point.

In January '82, Pax hit a buzzer beater to send a game against Idaho (top 10 team at the time) into OT, which we won 50-48. That was a rare highlight from that lost season.



Went to the Idaho game: Paxson/Rowan had 39 of the 50 pts

Two good wins that season Idaho and split a game with San Francisco. Quintin Dailey RIP.

I remember the Nova game well with TJ and the Maryland game was the snow in game. I looked up that game and ND won by 15.

At that game too. They (Idaho fan) giving potatoes away .

. . . to Nova at home during the 1981-82 season when we missed a layup at the buzzer on a full court throw-in and dish to a cutter. The play began with 3 seconds left. Digger was absolutely crushed by that final sequence (and the weight of an ever-worsening season) in the post-game locker room.
