Brandon Peel's improbable buzzer-beater sweetens a sour season

Next time your team is down by three points or less with 1 second remaining in the game and the length of the court to travel and you think all is lost, remember Brandon Peel.

The 6-foot-7 forward snatched a baseball pass out of the air near the 3-point line, spun and shot Saturday in game that was tied 50-50. The ball splashed through the nylon and Central Connecticut State snapped an 11-game losing streak with an improbable buzzer-beater 53-50 victory over Wagner.

It was CCSU's first victory since Dec. 10 and only its third win of the season. It was also the first time the Blue Devils walked off the court victorious in a Northeastern Conference game this season.

Peel, a junior from Forestville, Maryland, scored 17 points in the game with 13 rebounds. It was his fifth double-double of the season.

Here is another view of Peel's game-winner.
