The madness of March<\/a> was on full display in the Patriot League<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Navy led 72-70 with 3.6 seconds remaining when Boston University basketball <\/a>freshman guard Chance Gladden took the in-bounds pass, sprinted up court and sank a deep 3-pointer from the Navy logo on midcourt to send the Terriers to the Patriot League championship game,<\/a> while ending the top-seeded Midshipmen’s hopes of making March Madness.<\/a><\/p>\n

“I saw three seconds to go, I was just sprinting up the court, and when I let it go, it felt so good, I knew it was in,” Gladden said in a postgame interview with CBS Sports Network.<\/p>\n

The Terriers trailed as many as six points in the second half. Gladden’s heroic shot came after Navy’s Austin Benigni put the Midshipmen back up by two with 3 seconds to go after Gladden tied the score with a jumper inside the paint.<\/p>\n

The win is a bracket-shifting one for the Patriot League. Not only does Navy get knocked out of the conference tournament game, but the conference will send a different representative to March Madness now with its automatic qualifier bid. The Midshipmen had been projected for a good chunk of the season as the conference’s representative in bracketology predictions for several weeks after going 17-1 in the regular season.<\/p>\n

It also snapped a 14-game win streak for Navy.<\/p>\n

Boston University<\/a> will now travel to Lehigh on Wednesday to play for the right to win the conference championship and earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Terriers haven’t won the Patriot League since 2020.<\/p>\n
