Marshall's buzzer beater tip-in lifts Indiana Diesels to win over Suak Valley Predators in IBA-PBL - by Tim Tuttle
posted: Apr. 05, 2013

Harry Marshall's high-flying tip-in with .9-second remaining lifted the Indiana Diesels to a 104-102 victory over the Sauk Valley Predators in an IBA-PBL pro basketball game Sunday, March 24, 2013,, at Broad Ripple High.
The Diesels' Billy Pettiford began the game-deciding play by grabbing a long rebound in the Predators' front court. The 6-foot-8 former IUPUI player dribbled into Indiana's front court and missed a contested jump shot in the lane. The 6-foot Marshall, a former star at Indiana's Owen Valley High, launched himself and, above the rim, reached back with his left hand to tap the ball into the basket.

"We made a quick (defensive) stop and we didn't want to call a time out," Marshall explained. "We wanted to attack. Billy was going for the basket and I made my mind up to go for it if he missed. The ball came off the front of the rim and I was almost past it."
It was a game of firsts for the Diesels, who moved from Columbus, Ind., to Indianapolis in February. They won their season opener in their initial game on their home court and it was also their first game in the IBA-PBL, formed for the 2013 season from a merger between the Independent Basketball Association and the Premier Basketball League. Diesels were a member of the PBL in 2012 and began playing in the ABA in 2010
It was the first defeat for the Predators (4-1), from Sterling, Ill., who had opened the season with four straight victories.
"We won our first game against a team playing its fifth," said Diesels' coach Aaron Hogg, who won his first game as a pro coach. "We made a lot of bonehead mistakes and we still won the game. If we can eliminate mistakes like those, we have a chance to be pretty good."
Marshall played four seasons at Indiana State and has spent the past three playing in The Netherlands, the NBA Development League with the Canton (Ohio) Charge and Germany. He returned home early from Germany to be with his wife for the birth of his son, Harry III, on Jan. 30, 2013.
"I couldn't miss that," Marshall said.
Playing point guard, Marshall scored 17 points and was outstanding on defense.
