So only time will tell the impact of the excitement that was the "Duneland Chamber of Commerce Night" at the ARC (thus explaining the Chesterton Band, Chesterton Choirs, Chesterton Middle-school boys team... and the 1,000+ tickets sold ...

but hopefully, the lasting residue will be more tickets sold for future games...

Todd and Aaron were having a twitter-chat about Buzzer Beaters by Valpo over the years...

Shawn Huff - 3-pointers to force OT against Oral Roberts - Feb 1, 2007 - Valpo 70-ORU 67
Shawn Huff - 3-point play in OT against Wright State - March 1, 2008 - Valpo 75-Wright State 73
Brandon McPherson - Steal and Layup vs Milwaukee - New Years Eve 2009 - Valpo 55- UWM 54
Eric Buggs - Coast to Coast Layup vs Detroit at Calihan - January 6, 2012 - Valpo 73 - UDM 71
Ryan Broeckhoff - 3-pointer in HL SemiFinals vs Green Bay - March 9, 2013 - Valpo 70 - GBay 69
Shane Hammink - 3-pointer to win at Green Bay - February 28, 2016 - Valpo 70 - GBay 68

Todd added these...
OH, Mr. Drew, March 13, 1998.... but I digress
Todd listed Drew over Buffalo... not sure which close game this was...January 17, 1998 - VU 82-80 or January 28, 1995, 64-63.
Craig Brunes 3-pointer to win at Central Connecticut State January 13, 1996, Valpo 79-CCSU 76
Jamie Sykes 3-pointer to win against Pacific in the 3rd place game at the Big Island Classic November 30, 1997 Valpo 75- Pacific 73
Lubos Barton 3-pointer to win at IUPUI January 24, 2002 Valpo 74-IUPUI 73 in Overtime
Greg Tonagel from 65-feet to beat Belmont, January 11, 1999 Valpo 71-Belmont 68

As Todd said... this program has had an amazing amount of magic.

I seem to remember Huff hitting a layup at the buzzer in a bracket buster but it might have been waived off. How about Hammink's block at the Garden Valpo 72 BYU 70?

Peters block vs. URI Valpo 65 URI 62

Also, what could have been, with Jubril to Alec in the HL semis against GB.

Love that montage... particularly Dick Harlan's call on the Greg Tonagel 3-pointer.  GREAT memories...

I was at all 4 of those games... anyone else?

2 of the 4, not bad for someone who travels a lot and not necessarily through Valpo.
