She is very understandably happy.

Now THAT's impressive! Even CD didn't try that one.

Or maybe she did try, but never succeeded?

 

[DobbsRover2]

Didn't MoJeff make one of those in the second half last night?

She must have played soccer at one time...

 

[HoopsFan21]

This one is just as good...

That's the first thing I thought. Even as she is running up to it, I though, oh she's gonna do a flip throw. Nicely done though.

My favorite flip throw.

Sent it to my granddaughters, offered a reward for the first one to duplicate this great feat.

Man, are you a sadist. I know who you were rooting for in "The Silence of the Lambs."

But like the tall Korean rhythmic gymnast who did that wheeling flip while she threw out a perfect strike first pitch at a baseball game, these events should really be featured at halftime at games to pump up the interest. I think UConn has an inside connection for gnome-tossing contests, and standard stuff like back-to-the basket mid court heaves by a group of semi-inebriated fans from both teams would be cool for stockpiling the Youtube offerings.

 

[John Glass]

great, now basketball players who cannot make a free throw will practice this shot

The recommended videos from that one of the cheerleader dunking herself is also incredible. It's almost certainly a fake, but hey, fake entertainment shows at halftime can still be great if they're done well.

There was a CT HS player that did that in the state tournament, and made a throw-in from midfield into the goal. Happened a couple years ago, don't remember names or teams.

No goal... Can't score directly from a throw-in. Sorry...

Doubt it was a fake...she was grabbing at the back of her head where she apparently hit the rim on the way down.

I looked at this a few years ago frame by frame. What happens with her hands when she "goes through the hoop" doesn't look right to me.

I didn't say it was a goal. ;^)

As I remember, it went into the net. I'm sure it's on youtube.

I just can't believe it's real, especially with the way the guys are afterwards doing a parody of a freak-event celebration. I'm sure that someone did some editing work on that video, because everything about it seems fishy, especially with the precision it would take for the cheerleader to slip through the hoop and the lack of concern about what would happen to her in the almost certain situation that she missed and came down partly in the rim and partly out. Probably not too hard to put a faint rim shadow in a few frames and have the cheerleader flick something to make the net move on the way down.
