Illinois State edges Missouri State

Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

Jarred Dixon banked in a half-court shot just before the final buzzer to help Missouri State beat Illinois State, 66-65, in February. Leading 65-63 with 7.8 seconds left, Illinois State turned it over on an inbounds play. The ball changed hands several times, leading to multiple players diving for the loose ball and it finally fell to Dixon, who took one dribble and launched it off the backboard before getting tackled by his teammates.
