EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern's buzzer-beating men's basketball win over Michigan March 1 is one of four finalists for "Best Play" at the upcoming ESPYS.
The Wildcats' dramatic game-winning play was one of 16 nominees for the award and has advanced through two rounds of voting to reach the finals.
With 1.7 seconds remaining in a tie game, Nathan Taphorn connected with Dererk Pardon on a length-of-the-court pass that Pardon finished with a layup to give Northwestern a thrilling 67-65 win. The victory all but clinched the school's first NCAA tournament berth in program history.
The other three nominees are a catch by the New England Patriots' Julian Edelman in the Super Bowl, a game-winning shot by Mississippi State to defeat UConn in the Women's Final Four and a pass from Aaron Rodgers to Jared Cook in the Green Bay Packers' NFL playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys.
