In a heart-stopping finish that will be remembered for years to come, Alabama State University’s men’s basketball team secured its first-ever NCAA tournament win on Tuesday night. The Hornets edged out Saint Francis in a nail-biting 70-68 victory, thanks to a clutch layup by Amarr Knox with just one second left on the clock.

The game was a back-and-forth battle, with both teams trading baskets and neither able to gain a clear advantage. As the clock ticked down, the intensity reached a fever pitch, with the crowd on the edge of their seats.

In the end, it was Knox who emerged as the hero, sinking a layup that will go down in Alabama State history as one of the greatest moments of all time. The Hornets’ bench erupted in joy as Knox’s teammates mobbed him in celebration.

The win marks a major milestone for Alabama State, which had previously never won a game in the NCAA tournament. The team’s victory is a testament to the hard work and determination of the players and coaching staff, who have worked tirelessly to build a winning program.

As the Hornets look to build on their historic win, they will face a new challenge in the next round of the tournament. But for now, they can bask in the glory of their thrilling victory and the knowledge that they have made history for their school.
