Derik Queen's buzzer-beater over Colorado State got a perfect call from Lisa Byington
The first few days of March Madness were pretty standard, all things considered. A bit on the boring side, some might say. However, Derik Queen and the Maryland Terrapins had other ideas on Sunday night.
In the 2025 NCAA men's tournament's first major "MARCH!" moment, Queen lifted Maryland over Colorado State on a last-second buzzer-beater lob. Mere moments before, No. 12 Colorado State landed a major 3-pointer with 6.1 seconds to play to take the 71-70 lead over No. 4 Maryland. However, the Terrapins were able to call their final timeout and get some breathing room before making the definitive play.
After the timeout, Queen took the inbound pass and dashed toward the side of the rim. He was then able to take a floating shot with a mere second remaining that bounced off the glass and in!
DERIK QUEEN FTW 😱

The play was already incredible, but Lisa Byington's call of the moment really makes it special. In the lead up to the NCAA tournament, Maryland had been on the wrong side of a handful of buzzer-beaters against this season. To hear Byington call "on the right side of a buzzer-beater!" had to feel cathartic for Maryland fans after some real bad late losses earlier in the year.
This is March, folks!
