Uttering the words of Jon Rothstein: “THIS IS MARCH!”
In a chaotic showdown between two top-five teams in the Mountain West which featured the two trading blows plus a lot of intermixed whistles, Nevada star guard Grant Sherfield knocked down an absurd step-back game-winning 3-pointer to knock off the Colorado State Rams 85-82 Friday evening in Reno, Nev.
The contest was tied at 82 with under a minute remaining. In an attempt to take the lead, Colorado State’s David Roddy got stripped by Warren Washington.
Sherfield corralled the ball and dribbled it up the floor, knocking down a step-back 3-pointer with under a second remaining to award the Pack the 85-82 lead.
