I remember that play very well. Speedy made it right in front of me (I used to sit across the court from the Hofstra bench). Speedy ran off the court into the locker room right after making that play.

I don't remember who took the shot, but I will guess Norm Richardson.

Greg was not on the team yet he was still at Western Kentucky
Not Beckett he was a bench player
Rarely would you see him on the court in the closing seconds of a tight game

Mike Pegues, now an assistant coach at Butler, is my guess.

Pegues was the AE POY in 1999. Speedy took the honor in 1998 and 2000.
