George King hit a buzzer beating three-pointer in overtime that saved the Buffs from certain defeat, and they recovered to pull out a thrilling victory.

"Escape" is too light a word for what the Colorado Buffaloes did on Wednesday night. They were eight seconds away from suffering their worst loss of the season to conference basement dwelling Washington State. Without the services of team MVP Josh Scott, the Buffs squandered a halftime lead and seemed doomed to an overtime defeat before George King rescued them at the last possible moment with the biggest three-point buzzer beater since you know when.
