 Texas Wesleyan Win First NAIA Men's Basketball Title
Senior guardBen Hunt (6'1''-G-78, college: Stephen F. Austin) hit a three-point shot with 0.2 seconds remaining to give Texas Wesleyan University a 67-65victory against Oklahoma City University Monday in the title game of the 2006 Buffalo Funds-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball National Championship at Municipal Auditorium.
Hunt's three-pointer came after Oklahoma City senior guard Rory Green made one of two free throws with 6.8 seconds on the clock to give the Stars a 65-64 lead. Green made the first shot but was short on the second attempt. Hunt took the rebound, dribbled past mid court and launched his shot from the right wing just in front of the Rams' bench.
"Coach drew up the play for me, and the rebound came right to me," said Hunt, who scored a tournament-high 34 points in the championship game. "I knew with six seconds I could dribble to a spot and put up a shot. That was unbelievable."
Texas Wesleyan becomes the fourth unseeded team in the last eight years, and the third since the tournament returned to Kansas City in 2002, to win the NAIA Division I Men's national championship. The Rams posted a record of 25-9 on the season. Oklahoma City, which lost in the NAIA title game for the first time in five appearances, ended its year with a record of 29-8.
"It's so surreal," said Texas Wesleyan head coach Terry Waldrop , who was named the Rawlings-NAIA Division I Men's Basketball Coach of the Year following the contest. "These guys have amazed me all year and I couldn't be happier.
Junior guard Evan Patterson made two free throws with 2:11 left to give Texas Wesleyan a 63-57 lead. Oklahoma City responded with 7-1 run to tie the contest at 64-64. Senior guard Ryan Godwin hit a three-pointer with 1:59 to play to cut the margin in half, and made two free throws on the Stars' next possession to trim the deficit to 63-62 with 1:20 on the clock.
