San Diego State pulled off a last-second win against Florida Atlantic on Saturday night and advanced to the NCAA men’s national championship game thanks to Lamont Butler. The guard made a buzzer-beating jumper as time expired to secure a 72–71 victory for the Aztecs.
After the game, CBS’s Tracy Wolfson interviewed Butler and coach Brian Dutcher about the game plan going down the stretch. Butler admitted he felt “comfortable” with the shot.
“The plan was just to get downhill, they cut me off a little bit, I looked up, it was two seconds left, so I got to a shot that I’m comfortable with, and I hit it,” Butler said. “I’m happy.”
