March Madness: No. 13 seed Samford had the best block of the tourney, until refs called it a foul

The best play of the first round of the NCAA tournament arrived on the final game of Day 1 between No. 13 seed Samford and No. 4 seed Kansas.

Unfortunately for the underdogs, it didn't count.

Down four points with 20 seconds left in Salt Lake City, Samford's Jaden Campbell made a 3-pointer to cut the Jayhawks' lead to just a single point. Samford used a full-court press to look for a turnover, but Kansas guard Nicolas Timberlake snuck away for what should have been an easy breakaway to put the Jayhawks up three.
