CBS Rules Official Explains Why Maryland’s Derik Queen Didn’t Travel on Buzzer-Beater

Derik Queen became a Maryland legend on Sunday. | @NCAA

The Maryland Terrapins' electric buzzer-beater defeat of the Colorado State Rams has been shrouded in a bit of controversy since Sunday night, when eagle-eyed fans complained that center Derik Queen may have traveled on the big play.

The rub stems from a slow-motion replay of the moment. As the freshman drives toward the basket, it looks as though he took three steps without dribbling, rather than the allowed two, before getting the ball in off the glass. The refs didn't call anything and the Terps won the game, but the replay and the resulting "what if?" was clearly enough to send the internet into a tizzy.
