"The last-second play that all but clinched the tournament appearance will go down as one of the best moments in the school's athletic history.
Tied at 65 with 1.7 seconds left and a full-court to go, a long pass from Nate Taphorn to Derek Pardon ended with Pardon laying it up as time expired. It gave the Cats the win, a likely tournament berth and sent Welsh-Ryan Arena in an uproar in its penultimate game before an extensive renovation. Fans stormed the court in what served as kickoff to a purple party that will come to a peak when Selection Sunday comes on March 12."
