Horn said that the final play was designed to go to Warrick, though junior guard Trevon Faulkner was also an option should Warrick have been double-teamed at the top of the key. Warrick dribbled the ball at the top of the perimeter, waited patiently to blow past the Purdue Fort Wayne defender, maneuvered through the lane and fired a contested shot in the paint, getting it to roll in the basket with just 2.4 seconds remaining and securing a come from behind victory for the Norse that pushed their Horizon League record to 3-1 on the season. With Saturday night’s game tied at 68 with just 14 seconds remaining, Northern Kentucky men’s basketball Head Coach Darrin Horn put the ball in the hands of his poised freshman guard Marques Warrick and allowed him to be the hero in the second game of NKU’s two-game sweep of the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons.
