Entering the Final Four of the 2024 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, an unprecedented zero buzzer beaters have materialized across 63 completed games, bucking March Madness tradition where last-second game-winners at 0.0 seconds typically number 3-5 per event. Top-heavy brackets and dominant performances by No. 1 seeds like Purdue and UConn early on curbed close contests, while recent Elite Eight nail-biters—NC State's 76-64 win over Duke and Purdue's 72-66 OT triumph against Tennessee—teased drama but resolved prematurely. Semifinals pit UConn against Alabama's frenetic pace and Purdue versus Cinderella NC State, heightening upset potential and opportunities for buzzer-beating heroics in high-pressure, do-or-die settings that define the national championship path.

First-half buzzer beaters will not count. Shots by a team that is already ahead or behind and that do not result in a tie or lead change will not count. Shots made at the end of the shot clock are not considered buzzer beaters.
If the tournament concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, the outcome shall be determined using available NCAA statistics for completed games.
If the NCAA Tournament is cancelled, postponed after April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or if the exact number of “buzzer beaters” cannot be determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".
