Many call Hope-Calvin the best rivalry in Division III sports. Few can argue that claim after this week’s men's basketball thriller.

Calvin's Matt Veltema scored the game-winning layup with 2.7 seconds left to give the Knights an exhilarating 63-62 win over archrival Hope last night. Veltema's lone bucket of the night capped a four-point Calvin comeback in the game's final minute, and led to an all-out storming of the court by the Calvin students.
