Aliya Matharu scored at the buzzer to stun Columbia, who had just taken the lead with one second remaining in the game, 83-81, at the 2023 Baha Mar Hoops Pink Flamingo Championship in Nassau, Bahamas. 

Matharu stole the ball with 18 seconds left to play down 79-78 and Ra Shaya Kyle scored with four seconds to play. But after scoring 29 points and playing every minute in the game, Columbia star guard Abbey Hsu's first assist of the game to Cecelia Collins gave the Lions an 81-80 lead with one second left. 

Following a time-out, Florida inbounded the ball to Matharu, who spun around and hit her second 3-pointer of the game. 

There were three lead changes in the final five seconds. 

Matharu finished with 26 points for the Gators, who leave the Bahamas 2-0, while Columbia went 0-2 against two SEC programs this week.
