Derrick Queen is the king of March as Maryland Terrapin moves to Sweet 16 for a buzzer beater with Colorado on Sunday night.
71-70, Maryland had one last ownership to play in just under four seconds as the Queen took an inbound pass and immediately began to turn right and advance towards the net.
Colorado had a much greater defense on him when he drove to his left. And the Queen was forced to take off balance shots of balance.

The touch was perfect, and the ball went through the string just like when the buzzer rang, giving it the first buzzer beater in the madness of March this year.
Maryland stormed the court as the crowd went wild and the Queen all fell into pure elation.
The Queen finished their second game with 17 points, six rebounds and one assist, but everyone remembers the one-shot they sent to Sweet 16.
Colorado is a team that has fought back many times this season, earning a solid seven-point lead at halftime. And considering they had to return to Memphis late in their first round matchup, they knew their season was on the line and how Maryland would come out of the locker room with their hair burning.
However, the Rams couldn't stop the Terps from returning to the game as Lake Jalen filled the remaining 3 pointers in the clock to take a one-point lead, but they needed it when they needed it the most.

Lake scored 13 points, 10-5, 6-6 from the 3-point territory that day.
However, the Terps drew perfect plays and the Queen had ice in his veins when it was time to take a shot to determine his team's season.
Maryland will move to face the No. 1 Florida Gators who defeated back-to-back national champions Turcon Husky in thrillers early Sunday.
Looking at more of the box's scores, Queen was the main scorer on the team, but all members of the starting five finished with double-digit points, including 16-year-old Rodney Rice and Julian Rees, a brother to WNBA Star Angel Rees.
