Half court buzzer beater by Wisconsin's Ben Brust

Found February 09, 2013 on The B1g Time: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Ben Brust,  Tim Hardaway,  Tim Hardaway Jr
TEAMS: Wisconsin Badgers,  Michigan Wolverines

Michigan fans have got to hate seeing the ball in the hands of a Wisconsin sharp-shooter with the game on the line in the waning seconds of the game. Why? Well, on Saturday Ben Brust did this to put the game into OT:

All that proceeded this was Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr. hitting a clutch trey of his own to virtually seal the deal - or so most thought. Too bad they forgot that Ben Brust has done this once before too.

Safe to say you may want to foul this guy instead of letting him handle the ball period with the game on the line? Wisconsin went on to win the game on another Ben Brust three with 39 seconds left in OT, defeating No. 3 Michigan 65-62 in Madison.
