Dayton beats buzzer to upset the Jayhawks

Mustapha Amzil’s lone basket of the game was a memorable one.

Amzil hit a running jumper in the lane at the buzzer, and Dayton beat No. 4 Kansas 74-73 on Friday.

Kansas’ David McCormack blocked Malachi Smith’s layup with 3 seconds left. Amzil picked up the loose ball, and his shot went off the rim and backboard before going in.

“It was great,” Amzil said. “I had to watch the ball bounce in and down. It’s hard to describe.

“It’s surreal. It’s a great feeling.”

It was Amzil’s only shot from the field. He also went 2 for 4 at the freethrow line.

“Obviously great presence of mind by Mustapha to know the clock and give us a chance,” Dayton coach Anthony Grant said. “We’re grateful the shot fell.”

Kansas coach Bill Self said after McCormack’s block it was “good fortune, bad fortune.”

“The bottom line is, we didn’t execute when we

needed to,” Self said. “It was a heck of a shot. They deserved it. It was a great baseball game.”
