Rockford sophomore’s game-winner makes ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays of the Day
Rockford sophomore Andrew Landis had trouble sleeping Tuesday night.
Who could blame him? It’s not every night your game-winning shot makes ESPN’s SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays of the Day.
Landis buried a halfcourt shot as time expired in overtime, giving Rockford a 54-51 victory over Grand Rapids Union at home. ESPN ranked Landis’ buzzer beater No. 2 overall.
“I was trying to go to sleep last night, but the adrenalin was pumping,” Landis said. “So I checked my phone in the middle of the night, and people on Instagram and Snap Chat were saying ‘You’re on SportsCenter.’ I saw it on video and then I watched it on ESPN when I got up in the morning.
“Everyone wants to be on SportsCenter’s Top 10. That’s when it hit me.”
