TJ Longs buzzer-beating 4-point play propels Vermont to win over Yale

TJ Long hit a miraculous catch-and-shoot 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the game, then completed a four-point play to give Vermont a 66-65 win over Yale on Saturday night in Burlington, Vt.

After Aaron Deloneys layup drew the Catamounts within 65-62 with 0.6 seconds to play, Vermont (7-2) was able to draw an offensive foul from Yale on the inbound play to set up one final shot.

Long took the baseline inbound pass from Deloney and threw up a long fallaway 3-pointer that banked into the basket to tie it at 65 apiece with 0.2 seconds left.

— UVM Men's Basketball (@UVMmbb) December 3, 2023It turned out Long was fouled on the play, and he calmly hit the winning free throw to give the Catamounts the stunning one-point victory as Yales long heave in the final tick was nowhere near the basket.

I was supposed to get the ball in the opposite corner, Long said after the stunning win. Me and Deloney kind of made eye contact there and he kind of threw me open to the wing, Long said after the game. It was a great pass through Austin Mahoney across the court, and he put it on me. I know I didnt have time to take a dribble, so once I caught it I kind of threw it up there and got lucky with the foul and banked it in.
