The 2025 NCAA Tournament delivered another day of unforgettable moments, with top seeds advancing, Cinderella dreams ended, and a controversial buzzer-beater that left fans wondering whether it should have counted.
Gather step, ya’ll?
Later, it looked like 12-seed Colorado State, the tournament’s Cinderella story, was poised to pull off another upset and advance to face Florida. However, freshman phenom Derik Queen had other plans. With just 3.7 seconds left on the clock and Colorado State leading 71-70 after a clutch go-ahead 3-pointer by Jalen Lake, Queen took matters into his own hands. The Maryland standout grabbed the inbounds pass, dribbled to his spot, and launched a floating shot from an awkward angle that banked in at the buzzer, securing a dramatic 72-71 victory for the No. 4 seed Terrapins. The play sparked debate among fans, with some questioning whether Queen traveled before the shot.
