Terrell Burden's free throw with 0.7 seconds on the clock allowed Kennesaw State to take down Liberty 67-66, win the ASUN championship game and clinch the school's first trip to the Division I NCAA Tournament on Sunday in Kennesaw, Ga.
The school in suburban Atlanta won a Division II national championship in 2004 before moving up to Division I starting in the 2009-10 season. The Owls were the top seed in the conference and prevented the second-seeded Flames from making their sixth NCAA appearance.
Neither team led by more than eight, and Kennesaw State had a seven-point advantage with 3:05 to play dissipate when Liberty's Colin Porter made a game-tying 3-pointer with 24 seconds. When Burden went to the foul line, he purposely missed his second shot off the back iron to ensure Liberty had no time for a last-second heave.
Burden finished with a team-high 19 points, Chris Youngblood scored 16 points, Brandon Stroud had 12 points and Demond Robinson paired 10 points with 11 rebounds for Kennesaw State. Kyle Rode scored a game-high 23 points for Liberty and star Darius McGhee was held to 14 points on 6-of-21 shooting, including an 0-for-11 mark from 3-point land.
