See Vanderbilt basketball's Trey Thomas hit a halftime buzzer-beater vs. NC State
Vanderbilt basketball guard Trey Thomas beat the buzzer with a circus-shot three going into halftime of Saturday's game against NC State in Chicago.
After Ezra Manjon's jumper was blocked with 0.9 seconds left, Commodores coach Jerry Stackhouse called timeout to draw up a play. Guard Tyrin Lawrence inbounded the ball on the baseline to Thomas, who turned around for the triple in the corner. The play put Vanderbilt (5-5) up, 38-34, at halftime against the Wolfpack (9-3).

Forward Myles Stute led Vanderbilt in scoring in the first half with 11 points. Thomas had six points, both on 3-pointers, and led the team at halftime with three rebounds.
Wing Jordan Wright and guard Paul Lewis both returned after missing the team's loss to Grambling State. Wright had a hip pointer and Lewis had missed a month dealing with lingering effects of a concussion and the flu.
