In 2014, Tucker Halpern led the Brown University men's basketball team to a home upset of Providence College.

That year, Brown outscored PC 9-1 in the final 1:58 to stun the Friars 69-68.

Then a junior, Halpern, who missed all of the previous season with an illness, popped a three-pointer from the left corner with :07 seconds remaining to provide the margin of victory. He finished with 26 points.

After the game, PC Coach Ed Cooley said, "I'm sick to my stomach over this loss."

Providence College stopped playing Brown University; Halpern may have been a big part of the decision.

The duo is called SOFI TUKKER, and in 2018, they were a Grammy nominee. 

Now, the question may be, what's next?
