Frick's buzzer beater received more votes than plays from NJIT, NYU and Sacred Heart to win the Week Two round. Each week for five weeks, four incredible college basketball plays will be nominated as the GEICO Play of the Year. Each week's winner is determined by fan voting through the official Facebook page, and the five finalists will compete in a week-long competition to determine the GEICO Play of the Year.
