The Shot (Valparaiso University)
- The Shot (Valparaiso University)
For supporters of Valparaiso University in Indiana, USA, "The Shot" refers to a play that happened in the first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. In the Midwest Region, 13-seed Valparaiso was facing 4-seed Ole Miss in the first round. Valparaiso was down 69-67 with 4.1 seconds remaining in the game, with Mississippi's Ansu Sesay at the free throw line. After Sesay missed both shots, the Crusaders came up with possession — 94 feet from their basket, and with only 2.5 seconds remaining in the game.
On the inbound, the Crusaders used a play known as "Pacer" — Jamie Sykes inbounded a long throw to Bill Jenkins, who while still in the air, immediately tapped the ball to a practically unguarded Bryce Drew while Drew was in mid-stride. As time expired, Drew sank a 23-foot 3-point shot, giving him his 22nd point of the night, and clinching the Crusaders' 70-69 upset and advancing them in the tournament.
"The Shot" was named the fifth most memorable moment in CBS's coverage of the NCAA tournament by sports analyst Gary Parrish in a front page article for CBS SportsLine [CBS SportsLine, [http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/9997748 Memorable Moment No. 5 - Valpo's Drew Sinks Ole Miss] , February 15, 2007 ] .
