Quincy Ford swishes buzzer-beater giving Northeastern win over No. 15 Miami

A slew of early season upsets has been one of the primary storylines of the first two weeks of the college basketball season and one of the most dramatic yet unfolded Friday afternoon in Coral Gables, Fla., where Northeastern stunned No. 15 Miami.

The teams traded the lead multiple times throughout the second half, including when Sheldon McClellan made a jumper with 18 seconds left to give Miami a one-point advantage. Coming out of a timeout with five seconds showing. Quincy Ford found the ball in his hands on the right side near the 3-point line. He dribbled toward the free throw line but stopped short, elevated and softly dropped the game-winner through the cylinder to stun the previously unbeaten Hurricanes 78-77.

Ford scored 24 points with six rebounds and four steals and fellow senior David Walker added 21 to account for more than half the Huskies' points. It was exactly the type of bounch-back victory Northeastern needed five days after losing to Miami (Ohio).

The Huskies appear more than capabable of making a return trip to the NCAA Trounament in March for a second consecutive year. Consider that the Huskies beat a Miami team with wins over ranked foes Butler and Utah.
