It was the most dramatic way for San Diego State to punch a ticket to its first championship game in program history.
Florida Atlantic University was less than one second away from the National Championship game.
But their lead was a single point, the ball was in the air and Lamont Butler was about to take his place in NCAA Tournament lore. Butler's game-winning buzzer beater capped a 14-point comeback that lifted No. 5 San Diego State to a 72-71 victory over No. 9 Florida Atlantic University in the Final Four matchup. That led to a wide range of emotions on social media...and a lot of"The Butler did it!" tweets, as the famed murder-mystery slogan became a March Madness headline.
