Tanner Kretchman might not have made SportsCenter's Top 10 plays, but his game-winning buzzer-beater over the weekend is worth highlighting.

The Minnesota State Moorhead junior guard finished off the wild final seconds against Northern State (S.D.) Saturday with a long three-pointer as time expired. The at least 35-footer upset Northern 93-92 on its home court just seconds after taking the lead with 2.4 second left.

Mack Arvidson put Northern up 92-90 with what appeared to be a heroic game-winning buzzer-beater. But after Kretchman missed two free throws and failed to seal the win on Moorhead's previous possession, he responded with the game-saving three-pointer in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference opener.

Moorhead improved to 5-1 on the season.
