Wichita, KS (SportsNetwork.com) - Fred VanVleet fed Darius Carter for the game-deciding dunk with 11.9 seconds remaining as No. 11 Wichita State survived Alabama, 53-52, on Tuesday.

The Crimson Tide led by 11 with under five minutes to play before a furious comeback pulled the Shockers even. Rashard Kelly scored the final four points of an 11-0 run, the last two coming off a steal with 1:20 remaining

The Shockers came up empty on their next possession after forcing another turnover, then fouled Levi Randolph with 32.1 seconds left.

Randolph, a 90-percent free throw shooter coming in, made the first attempt and missed the second.

On Wichita State's final possession, VanVleet drove the lane, drew Michael Kessens away from the basket and bounced a backdoor pass to an open Carter for the go-ahead flush.

Randolph lost control on a drive to the basket with time winding down and was forced to call a timeout with 1.2 seconds to go.

Rodney Cooper's rushed 3-point try missed everything at the buzzer as Wichita State hung on for a school-record 23rd straight home win.
