Top 25 March Madness heroes of all-time
When you think of clutch shots in recent NCAA Tournament memory, Trey Burke must come to mind. The Michigan point guard saved the day back in the 2013 NCAA Tournament against the Kansas Jayhawks.
Michigan was the 4-seed while Kansas was the favorite as the No. 1 seed in the region as the two faced off for a spot in the Elite Eight. It was an evenly-matched game, but it looked to be in the bag for the Jayhawks, but you can never count a John Beilein-coached Michigan team out.
With 12 seconds left, the Jayhawks stepped to the line for a 1-and-1 opportunity, up by three. A make would have almost put the game out of reach and two may have sealed the deal. Unfortunately for Kansas, and fortunately for Michigan, they missed the front-end of the 1-and-1 and the ball found its way to Burke with the clock winding down.
Who better to trust with the game on the line than the point guard who got the Wolverines to the Sweet 16? He saw an opportunity to shoot the ball from about eight feet behind the 3-point line and he drilled it to tie the game.
Michigan would go on to win in overtime and the Wolverines went on to make the national title game against Louisville, eventually falling there. Burke was an absolute monster in the tournament run, though.
