Unlikely hero Poole basks in buzzer-beating 3

WICHITA, Kan. -- Jordan Poole just didn't want to get tackled.

The Michigan freshman hit a 3-pointer as time expired to give the Wolverines a 64-63 win over Houston in the second round of the NCAA tournament -- and didn't even realize he made the shot.

"After the shot went in, I didn't know it went in," Poole said. "I looked at the bench. I was always thinking if I hit a shot like that, I didn't want to get tackled. So I was kind of trying to avoid everybody, but I gave up and they tackled me and it was an amazing experience.
