Around 40 miles south of the University of Kentucky, there is a small liberal arts school that also rocks blue and white on the basketball court. Berea College is in its final year of a transition from NAIA to NCAA Division III, and the men’s basketball team made a splash onto the national basketball scene on Monday with the #1 play on the SportsCenter Top Ten.
Tied at 79-79 with Birmingham-Southern on Sunday, junior Berea guard Corey Wise drained a half court shot at the buzzer to give the Mountaineers a big win and the most national attention the program has ever received.
