### 2006–07 men's basketball

[edit]

On March 24, 2007, the men's basketball team won the NCAA Men's Division II Basketball Championship. The team, with a 31–5 record in 2006–07, defeated the previously undefeated defending champion Winona State Warriors, who held a Division II-record 57-game winning streak at the time. Winona State looked to repeat as champs, taking a 74–67 lead with 45 seconds remaining. Barton's Anthony Atkinson then scored 10 points in the last 39 seconds, including the winning layup at the buzzer for a 77–75 victory.[3][4] Atkinson has since become a fan favorite with the Harlem Globetrotters.
