Top 10 Moments of 2014 in Chicago Basketball--The Catch and Shoot
10. DePaul survives UIC on late 3-pointer, 72-71 (Nov. 14)

In the 2014-15 season opener, DePaul jumped out to a 21-point lead on UIC in the first half. UIC chipped away and fought back, and sophomore Markese McGuire put the Flames ahead for the first time, 71-69, with a jumper in the final minute.

DePaul sophomore Billy Garrett Jr. responded with a huge 3-pointer from the left wing that would become the game-winner. UIC junior D’Juan Miller got a look at a game-winning triple for the Flames but could not connect.

Garrett’s game-winning shot was the second of his career. He also beat Northwestern at the buzzer in December 2013.
