Dennis Buzzer-Beater Clinches American's No. 6 Seed

NEW ORLEANS, La. – Dexter Dennis sank a corner three with no time on the clock to give Wichita State an 82-79 victory over Tulane Saturday evening at Devlin Fieldhouse.

Tied at 79, WSU inbounded under the Tulane basket with 0.5 seconds on the clock. Dennis flashed to the near corner, caught a pass from Ricky Torres and uncorked the game-winner a split-second before time expired.

It was the third game-winning buzzer-beater for WSU (17-13, 10-8 American) in the last five weeks. The Shockers won for the ninth time in 11 tries following a 1-6 start to conference play.
