Watch St. Francis freshman save his team's season with off-balance buzzer-beater
College basketball's Championship Week is one of the most entertaining in sports, one during which formerly obscure schools are thrust into the national spotlight and previously unknown players become stars. It's a magnificent stretch where last-second buzzer-beaters become the norm.
And we got our first (of what is hopefully many) buzzer-beaters in the Northeast Conference semifinals on Saturday afternoon. Watch as No. 4 seed St. Francis (PA) goes the length of the court, and freshman guard Keith Braxton hits an off-balance three as time expires. The Red Flash were trailing Wagner 70-68, and Braxton's shot gave them a one-point win.

The win set off a raucous celebration for the Red Flash. They will face the winner of the other semifinal (No. 1 seed Mount Saint Mary's and No. 7 seed Robert Morris) in Monday's title game.
