Greensboro, NC - In what was the most exciting finish of the season, Greensboro Men's Basketball (13-12, 9-5) defeated Pfeiffer University (9-13, 6-8), 68-67. Senior Matthew Brown capped of senior day by hitting a game winning jump shot with 0.4 seconds left to get the win and earn the #2 seed in the USA South Conference Tournament.

Brown was given the ball and hit a turnaround jumper on the baseline with 0.4 seconds left, which would be the game winning shot. The crowd went wild as the Pride defeated the Falcons and earned the #2 seed in next week's conference tournament.
