He scooped it up, twisted in midair and launched a two-handed prayer.<\/p>\n<p>It marked Jackson\u2019s first 3-point field goal in 46 games, and it sent the regular-season champion Braves to the title game.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to top moments in St. Louis, fans also chose the top 10 players in Arch Madness history.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Korver of Creighton was named Arch Madness Most Outstanding Player. <span id=\"more-21666\"><\/span>He was joined on the all-time all-tournament team by Bradley\u2019s Anthony Parker and Illinois State\u2019s Osiris Eldridge and Rico Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Among top moments, Jackson\u2019s shot was followed by Nate Funk\u2019s performance in leading Creighton to the 2007 tournament title. Funk scored 51 points in the final two games.<\/p>\n<p>Bradley\u2019s victory over Northern Iowa in the 2007 quarterfinals was the No. 11 moment. Will Franklin hit a 3-pointer with 3 seconds left to give the Braves a 51-48 victory. BU\u2019s J.J. Tauai tied the game with 57 seconds left before Franklin\u2019s winner.<\/p>\n<p>ISU had three top-20 moments:<\/p>\n<p>At No. 4 was Osiris Eldridge\u2019s play in the 2009 tournament. He averaged 19 points and became the second player in history to earn Most Outstanding Player honors on a losing team as UNI took the title in overtime.<\/p>\n<p>At No. 7 was the game-winning shot by Spring Valley\u2019s Shawn Jeppson in the 2002 quarterfinals. Jeppson hit a twisting 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Redbirds a 64-63 victory over Drake.<\/p>\n<p>At No. 14 was ISU\u2019s 69-65 comeback victory over UNI in the 1997 semifinals. Rico Hill scored 29 for the Redbirds. Down by nine late in the first half, ISU closed the half on a 12-2 surge, ignited by coach Kevin Stallings\u2019 stare. Angry about a 14-8 disparity in fouls, Stallings stared at game officials for an entire media timeout.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read the original article from <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.pjstar.com\/news\/x285348749\/Deon-Jacksons-shot-tops-Arch-Madness-moments\" title=\"Deon Jackson's shot tops Arch Madness moments\" rel='nofollow'>Journal Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Distributed via <a href=\"http:\/\/chicagopressrelease.com\" rel='nofollow'>Chicago Press Release Services<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dTAyBXyLpp9J77oxbmMRjRXJK4w\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dTAyBXyLpp9J77oxbmMRjRXJK4w\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dTAyBXyLpp9J77oxbmMRjRXJK4w\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/dTAyBXyLpp9J77oxbmMRjRXJK4w\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=aPBKeBil2iQ:i1CxXUZFj0Y:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=aPBKeBil2iQ:i1CxXUZFj0Y:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.chicagopressrelease.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?a=aPBKeBil2iQ:i1CxXUZFj0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/windycitynews?i=aPBKeBil2iQ:i1CxXUZFj0Y:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/windycitynews\/~4\/aPBKeBil2iQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deon Jackson\u2019s improbable last-second shot that gave Bradley a victory in the 1996 Missouri Valley Conference semifinals was selected as the top moment in Arch Madness history by a vote of the league\u2019s fans.
