Video: Chattanooga Clinches NCAA Men's Tournament Berth on Dramatic OT Buzzer-Beater
The madness has already started with Selection Sunday still six days away.
The Chattanooga Mocs clinched their spot in the NCAA men's basketball tournament with a dramatic 64-63 overtime victory against the Furman Paladins in Monday's Southern Conference tournament championship game.
David Jean-Baptiste's heave at the buzzer turned a sure defeat into a moment only possible in March:

While Jean-Baptiste's buzzer-beater was the highlight, it came after dramatic swings that defined the end of the game.
Chattanooga's Silvio De Sousa and Furman's Mike Bothwell traded three-pointers in the final 30 seconds of regulation. That set the stage for the extra period, and A.J. Caldwell tied the game for the Mocs with a triple in the final 30 seconds before Bothwell's layup on the ensuing possession appeared to give the Paladins the victory.
Jean-Baptiste had other ideas.
Bothwell's 24 points weren't enough for Furman, while De Sousa led the way for the victors with 17 points and 14 rebounds.
