Christopher Newport is the 2023 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball National Champion, taking down Mount Union, 74-72.  The Captains (30-3) won their first national title in program history.

Mount Union tied the game at 72 apiece with 4.3 seconds left as Christian Parker's two-pointer dropped. On the ensuing inbound, CNU got the ball up the court quickly, and Trey Barber drove to the hoop, putting up a layup as time expired for the win. Barber led the Captains with 25 points. 

Just an unbelievable shot from Trey Barber to win the title. The Captains are Champs at the buzzer.
