Blockton beats the buzzer to lift women’s basketball over Butler

With the score tied at 67 and just 0.8 seconds remaining in regulation, Marquette was inbounding underneath Butler’s basket for a chance to win the game.

“I was praying to Jesus because I didn’t want to go to overtime,” said Blockton.

Blockton moved toward the foul line from the right elbowm then made a cut the other way to the low post to create space from her defender.

“I faked like I was coming off of a curl and she bit for it,“ said Blockton ”As soon as I caught it I knew it she was either going to foul me or it was going in.
