You can thank U.S. Reed for helping to inspire the phrase “March Madness.” Reed’s half-court 2-pointer (the 3-point line had not yet been adopted in college basketball) vanquished defending champion Louisville back in 1981 in a dramatic 1-point victory for Arkansas.

Michigan State guard Tre Holloman hit a buzzer-beating shot from beyond half-court to lift the No. 8 Spartans to a 58-55 win at No. 16 Maryland on Wednesday night. The miraculous heave brought a hush over the Terrapins home crowd after Maryland rallied from a 7-point deficit with under three minutes remaining to tie the game.
