NIU Huskies stun #14 Buffalo Bulls, 77-75, on late basket

NIU’s Noah McCarty only scored six points all game but none were bigger than his layup with just .6 seconds remaining.

The #14 Buffalo Bulls clawed their way back from a ten-point deficit in the second half and tied the Northern Illinois Huskies at 75 apiece when C.J. Massenburg nailed a nearly 30-foot three pointer with 6.4 seconds remaining.

But the Huskies would strike one last time. Trendon Hankerson took the ball down the court and, as he got double-teamed, he was able to find a wide open McCarty cutting to the basket.
