If you missed the first-round game in the Conference USA tournament Wednesday afternoon between Florida International and Texas San Antonio, and let's be honest, plenty of folks did because they have jobs, then you missed the best buzzer beater of buzzer beater season so far.

Just seconds after Keon Lewis made a 3-pointer for UTSA to tie the game at 54, Dennis Mavin dribbled the ball to halfcourt and launched a running prayer that banked in to give the Golden Panthers a 57-54 victory at the buzzer.
Mavin, a senior guard from Gainesville, Fla., led his team with 15 points. He also had nine rebounds and gave his teammates coaches and FIU fans a memory they will be talking about for years to come. This is why folks love college basketball in March.
