Top 5 Gutsiest Shots in March Madness History
By Jacob Rude
5. Jordan Crawford vs. Kansas State
We start with one of the most underrated exciting games in recent years. In 2010, Kansas State and Xavier squared off in the Sweet 16, with a matchup against Butler on the line. Kansas State was led by Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemnete, while Kansas State had Jordan Crawford and Terrell Holloway.
What this amounted to was an absolutely thrilling contest. After Holloway hit three free throws with five seconds remaining in the 2nd half, a fantastic overtime followed. With the clock ticking down and Xavier down three, the Wildcats were desperate for a miracle. Crawford delivered, pulling up from 35-feet and sending Gus Johnson to Defcon 0.
