In a breathtaking finish to Thursday night's game, the Fairfield University men's basketball team defeated the Marist Foxes thanks to an incredible 3/4 court shot by Deon Perry at the buzzer.

With the clock winding down, Perry launched the ball from nearly three-quarters of the court, securing an unforgettable win for the Stags.

The moment was captured with exclamations of disbelief by the play-play announcer "They get it in for Perry. Shoots it from 70 for the win. It's good. Deon Perry wins it for the Stags. I don't believe it. I don't believe it."

Perry ended the game as the leading scorer, finishing with 19 points.
