MUNCIE, Ind. — At this point, it's fair to ask. Is there a more clutch player in America than Tayler Persons?
The junior guard did it again Tuesday night, hitting a 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left to give Ball State a 59-56 win over visiting Bowling Green.
It is his third game-winning 3-pointer this season as he beat Notre Dame and Valparaiso earlier this season at the buzzer. He also had a go-ahead layup in the final seconds at Dayton and a game-tying 3-pointer at Kent State to send the game to overtime. He has proven over and over that he thrives in those situations.
