UNC Asheville got lucky once. Charleston Southern wasn’t going to let it happen again.
Up by a point with 6.8 seconds left in the first round of the Big South Championship, five-seed UNCA gave up a really good look on the perimeter that could’ve sank their conference title hopes.
The 3-pointer missed, but there was still one problem. The Bulldogs forgot to box out Taje’ Kelly, who tipped back the miss at the buzzer to lift the 12th-seed Buccaneers to the upset victory.
With that, March Madness was officially underway.
