If you like March Madness buzzer beaters, don’t look to the NCAA men’s tournament this year. Check out the NAIA women’s tournament instead.
In the first quarter of its first-round game against Loyola, Montana State-Northern’s Molly Kreycik hits this unbelievable three-quarter court buzzer beater. And it was so good that it went in not once, but TWICE.

People on Twitter are saying that shot should’ve counted double the points. Thankfully, Montana State-Northern ended up not needing it in Thursday’s win. But the Skylights got knocked out of the tournament the next day by Vanguard.
Kreycik’s basket wasn’t the only highlight of from the NAIA. This Oklahoma City Stars player also hit a similar buzzer beater:
