Greensboro, NC - It was a wild scene inside Hanes Gymnasium on Saturday as Greensboro College Men's Basketball (10-15, 6-8) earned a last second win over Methodist (10-14, 6-8) 61-60 to lock up the #4 seed in the USA South Conference Tournament.

Greensboro got out to an early lead before the Monarchs' defense shut down the Pride offense midway through the first half. The teams would trade buckets throughout the rest of the half and were tied 33-33 at halftime.

The Pride would miss three different shots in the last 10 seconds, but got rebounds on all of them as Ryan Roberts tipped in an offensive rebound with 0.9 seconds remaining to put Greensboro ahead. The Monarchs' half court heave at the buzzer fell short and Greensboro edged out a 61-60 win.
