Derik Queen is a king of Mars while the Maryland terraaps go to Sweet 16 because of his Burzzer drummer against the state of Colorado on Sunday evening.
Decreasing 71-70, Maryland had one last possession with just under four seconds to play when Queen took the incoming pass and immediately turned to his right to start heading towards the net.
The state of Colorado had a great defense over him throughout him while he was driving to his left. And Queen was forced to take an unbalanced blow which required a perfect touch on the glass to redirect in the hoop.

The touch was perfection, and the ball went through the string just when the buzzer sounded, giving us our first buzzer in March Madness this year.
Maryland stormed the courtyard while the crowd entered a frenzy, with the queen in the center of all this in pure exaltation.
Queen finished the second round match with 17 points, six rebounds and a pass, but everyone will remember suddenly that sent them to the Sweet 16.
Colorado State, a team that fought so many times during this season, had a solid lead of seven points at halftime. And since they had to return to Memphis in the second half during their confrontation in the first round, they knew how Maryland was going to get out of the locker room with their hair on fire, knowing that their season was at stake.
But the Rams could not prevent the terps from returning to the game, although they passed through the clutch when they needed it most when Jalen Lake buried a three -point pointer with six seconds on the stopwatch to take the advance of a point.

Lake had 13 points, going 5 for 10 and 3 for 6 in the territory three points of the day.
However, the Terps wrote the perfect game, and Queen had ice in his veins when it was time to take the blow to determine the season of his team.
Maryland goes to face the Florida Gators N ° 1, who beat the national consecutive champion Uconn Huskies in a thriller earlier on Sunday.
Looking more at the box scoring, Queen was the top scorer of the team, although each member of the first five finished with two -digit points, including Rodney Rice with 16 and Julian Reese, the brother of the star of the WNBA Angel Reese, with 15.
