A broadcaster absolutely lost it as Portland State hit a stupefying buzzer-beater over Northern Arizona

The Portland State men’s basketball team won on one of the most spellbinding buzzer-beaters you’re likely to see this season on Saturday against Northern Arizona.

With just 0.4 seconds remaining in regulation, the Vikings inbounded the ball as they trailed the Lumberjacks 88-87.

Portland State sophomore forward Isaiah Johnson caught the long pass and inexplicably banked it immediately as time expired, giving the Vikings the improbable win.

Johnson’s game-winning bucket cleared the Portland State bench and inspired an absolutely delightful broadcast call.

With the Vikings the underdog on the moneyline (+120), Portland State bettors got a nice little boost with Johnson’s phenomenal shot.

Well, if that buzzer-beater doesn’t get you excited, we’re not sure what will.

Johnson will surely remember this game-winning bucket for a long time, and bettors might really want to keep an eye out on Portland State for the rest of the season if they’ve got this kind of luck.
