Did Maryland’s Derik Queen commit a traveling violation on his buzzer-beating basket against Colorado State?

Queen hit a bank shot to give the No. 4 Terrapins a 72-71 win over No. 12 Rams in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday night. But he took three steps after picking up his dribble before releasing the shot. The first buzzer-beater of the 2025 men's NCAA tournament also featured the first significant officiating controversy.

The traveling might not have been obvious to everyone in real time — and a reason why it wasn’t called on the floor.
