Every special team can point to a win during a championship run when they snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
You can mark down Sunday afternoon as such a defining moment for Amaka Agugua-Hamilton’s Missouri State Lady Bears.
MSU trailed 73-71 when Brice Calip was slapped on the arm by Valparaiso guard Maya Dunson on Calip’s 3-point heave at the buzzer.
Standing alone on the charity stripe with less than one second remaining, Calip calmly sank two free throws to tie the score and the game-winner — the 500th made free throw of her career — to give No.
