Top Play: Our men's basketball team earned the "Top Play of the Day" on ESPN's flagship program "SportsCenter" after junior forward Patrick Lee lifted the Skyhawks to an 84-82 overtime victory over Le Moyne last Tuesday. Lee's turnaround half court heave at the buzzer was the #1 play on the show's popular "Top Ten Plays of the Day" segment. To see a video of Lee's buzzer beater on SportsCenter, visit here.
