One of the most memorable NCAA tournament game-winning shots was made by Valparaiso University’s Bryce Drew in 1998 as the Crusaders nipped the University of Mississippi at the buzzer. In NABC’s Shooting Fundamentals Video, Bryce’s father and highly respected Valpo head coach Homer Drew teaches the shooting techniques that make such unlikely attempts possible. Drew’s teams are known for shooting good shots and making such a high percentage of shots that the teams are perennial conference champions and postseason tourney participants.
