John Blackwell adds to Wisconsin buzzer-beaters. Remember these?

John Blackwell's thrilling buzzer-beater to give the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team a 78-75 win at Minnesota evokes many recent memories of game-winning magic from the cardinal and white.

Let's go back in time and remember as many Wisconsin men's buzzer-beaters as we can. Though they aren't all "true" buzzer-beaters, we'll put the cap at five seconds before a buzzer, and we'll keep the list to everything in the current century (2000-present).

Sorry, Wes Matthews, even though your half-court heave to beat Michigan State in 1979 has to rank among the most notable buzzer-beaters in program history.

Klesmit's floater in the lane over behemoth Zach Edey with 4.8 seconds left in overtime bounced in and gave the Badgers a 76-75 win in the Big Ten Tournament semifinal in Minneapolis. Purdue finished that season 34-5, falling in the national championship game.

Hepburn's layup at the buzzer tied the game at 66 and forced overtime for the fifth-seeded Badgers against the top-seeded Boilermakers.

Max Klemsit at Marquette (Dec. 3, 2022)

Badgers take the late lead in OT!

There were still 3.5 seconds left when Klesmit's one-handed turnaround in the lane gave Wisconsin the lead in overtime, part of an 80-77 victory over its cross-state rival.

Chucky Hepburn vs. Purdue (March 1, 2022)

The Blackwell finish in Minnesota perhaps conjured memories of this, when Jaden Ivey of Purdue tied the game with a three-pointer and less than 10 seconds on the clock, only to have Hepburn march down and hit a banked-in triple from the corner with 1.2 seconds left. Only in this case, the game gave the Badgers a share of the regular-season Big Ten title.

The moment also gave us a famous quote from star Johnny Davis, speaking to the crowd on mic during the postgame celebration. “I’m not going to lie,” Davis said. “That was some bullsh--, but it went in.”

Brad Davison vs. Western Kentucky (Dec. 13, 2017)

Davison was able to draw a controversial blocking call before an out-of-bounds play with two seconds left in a tie game, allowing him to go to the line for a game-winning free throw for the 81-80 victory.

Zak Showalter vs. Florida in NCAA Tournament (March 24, 2017)

His running triple splashed through, tying Florida at 72 with 2.1 seconds left and forcing overtime in the Sweet 16 for the eighth-seeded Badgers, even though Wisconsin later lost the game on Chris Chiozza's own running triple in overtime. To the amusement of Wisconsin sports fans, Showalter turned to Aaron Rodgers in the crowd at Madison Square Garden and performed Rodgers' "belt" celebration, or "Discount Double Check," if you prefer.

Ethan Happ at Rutgers (Jan. 28, 2017)

The post-move extraordinaire Happ worked for a bucket with two seconds left in regulation at Madison Square Garden that tied the game at 45-45. Wisconsin went on to win in overtime, 61-54.

Bronson Koenig vs. Xavier in NCAA Tournament (March 20, 2016)

Koenig's nothing-but-net basket from the wing as the buzzer sounded gave the Wisconsin men's basketball team a thrilling 66-63 upset of No. 2 seed Xavier, lifting the Badgers from St. Louis into the Sweet 16. The La Crosse Aquinas graduate finished with a game-high 20 points (14 after halftime), and he famously made comedian Bill Murray, whose son was on the Xavier coaching staff, quite sad.

Traevon Jackson vs. Michigan State (Feb. 9, 2014)

By now fully developing his reputation as a clutch shot-maker, Jackson brought the ball across the court, then rose up for a tie-breaking basket over current Bucks player Gary Harris with 2.1 seconds left, giving the Badgers a 60-58 win over top-10 Michigan State.

Traevon Jackson at Penn State (March 10, 2013)

Wisconsin ended the regular season with a bang, when Jackson carried it up the left sideline and unleashed a game-winning 35-footer that splashed through for a 63-60 win at the Bryce Jordan Center, a sigh of relief against a Nittany Lions team that went 2-16 in league play.

Traveon Jackson vs. Minnesota (Jan. 26, 2013)

With the game tied at 43, Jackson shook a defender, then rose up from just outside the lane for a shot that bounded off the rim and through to give the Badgers a lead over a top-20 Gophers team with 2.1 seconds left.

Ben Brust vs. Michigan (Feb. 9, 2013)

The game had been tied at 57 at the Kohl Center against No. 3 Michigan, but Wisconsin found itself in deep trouble when Tim Hardaway Jr. hit a triple with 2.7 seconds left. Unranked Wisconsin inbounded after a timeout to Brust, who caught the ball at half court and launched an off-balance running prayer that swished through to force overtime. Wisconsin went on to win in OT, 65-62, then beat Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament the following month en route to the championship game.

Josh Gasser at Michigan (Feb. 23, 2011)

Jordan Taylor passed out of a double team to find the freshman point guard Gasser at the top of the key, who channeled Brian Butch from years earlier with a bank shot that banged through at the buzzer for a 53-52 victory in Ann Arbor.

Trevon Hughes vs. Florida State in NCAA Tournament (March 20, 2009)

The 12th-seeded Badgers staged a first-round upset of the fifth-seeded Seminoles in Boise thanks to an awkward bank shot by Hughes with two seconds left, one that also came with a foul. He sank the free throw, and a 59-58 deficit turned into a 61-59 victory.

Jordan Taylor at Iowa (Jan. 21, 2009)

Taylor sank a three-pointer just before the buzzer sounded to force overtime and tie the game at 60-60, though the Hawkeyes prevailed in the extra session, 73-69.

Trevon Hughes at Virginia Tech (Dec. 1, 2008)

Playing in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, Hughes answered a three-pointer by A.D. Vassallo that had pulled the teams to even at 72 with seven seconds left after Wisconsin had frittered away a 10-point lead. But Hughes took the inbound, negotiated a trio of defenders and floated in a shot with 0.9 seconds on the clock for a 74-72 victory.

Brian Butch at Indiana (Feb. 13, 2008)

The big man banked in a three-pointer with 4.5 seconds left, giving Wisconsin a 68-66 win at Assembly Hall as Wisconsin moved to 20-4 overall en route to a Big Ten regular-season title.

Michael Flowers at Texas (Dec. 29, 2007)

Flowers brought the ball up the court with his team facing a 66-64 deficit against the No. 9 team in the country on the road, then elevated for a go-ahead three-pointer that splashed through with 2. 7 seconds on the clock. As if that wasn't enough, Flowers then came back to knock away the inbound, thwarting any last-second heroics from the Longhorns. Wisconsin was playing without its starting point guard, Hughes.

Kammron Taylor vs. Michigan State (March 3, 2007)

Taylor rose up for a three-pointer that splashed through with less than five seconds left, and the No. 5 Badgers prevailed on Senior Day with ESPN cameras focused on Taylor's emotional mom, Blondell, in the stands.

Kammron Taylor vs. UNC-Wilmington (Dec. 12, 2005)

Taylor's three-pointer as time expired gave the Badgers a sluggish 54-51 win at the Kohl Center. Taylor took the ball with six seconds left and sank the contested shot after bringing the ball up the court.

Kammron Taylor vs. Eastern Kentucky (Nov. 19, 2005)

Alando Tucker had 38 points and 10 rebounds, and Wisconsin needed every ounce of it in a 95-89 win over Eastern Kentucky in double overtime at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands. Taylor hit a three-pointer with 3.3 seconds left of the first overtime to tie the game at 78, and Wisconsin went on to win all three of its games at the showcase, toppling Old Dominion two nights later.

Alando Tucker vs. Iowa in Big Ten Tournament (March 12, 2005)

Tucker drove the length of the floor, threw up a runner from beyond the arc at the buzzer and even drew some contact as he banked home the winner for a 59-56 win over Iowa in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament in Chicago. The Badgers went on to fall to No. 1 Illinois the next night.

Alando Tucker vs. Indiana (March 1, 2005)

Tucker had just hit a game-winner earlier that same month. He came flying in for a rebound on a late reverse attempt by Mike Wilkinson and dropped the follow-up through the hoop as the buzzer sounded, giving Wisconsin a 62-60 win over Indiana at the Kohl Center.

Freddie Owens vs. Tulsa in NCAA Tournament (March 22, 2003)

It appeared the fifth-seeded Badgers would be upset by No. 13 seed Tulsa in the second round of the NCAA tournament, but Owens hit a three-pointer from the left corner with one second left to give Wisconsin a 61-60 win and a date in the Sweet 16 with Kentucky. Wisconsin rallied from 13 points down in the final four minutes. Owens, playing on a sprained right ankle, delivered when Devin Harris found him wide-open on a pass from the top of the key.

Devin Harris vs. Illinois (March 5, 2003)

Harris hit the second of two free throws with 0.4 seconds on the clock, giving Wisconsin a 60-59 win and outright Big Ten title for the first time in 56 years (and helped give Wisconsin at least a share in back-to-back seasons for the first time since the 1920s). Brian Cook of Illinois couldn't get a shot off in time to answer, and fans rushed the court to celebrate a UW team that ran through a late-season gauntlet to lay claim to the conference crown.
