You may remember Cleveland State from such hits as the 1986 NCAA Tournament, where the 14th-seeded Vikings upset both No. 3 Indiana and St. Joseph. Cedric Jackson, a transfer from St. John's, carved out his own niche in school lore with this beauty; which was only his fourth field goal of the game, and first 3-pointer. Cleveland State wins over No. 11 Syracuse, 72-69.

The shot, with audio commentary.

"Normally, that shot is always just a mess-around shot," Jackson told ESPN afterwards. "You don't practice that at all."

I've never had much love for Jim Boeheim; when I coached, I used his game tapes as examples for my players of what not to do fundamentally. But it's hard not to have some sympathy here, as we see him struggling with the emotions of it all in the post-game presser. I once saw my coaching idol, Bud Presley, lose a JC state championship on a half-court prayer similar to Jackson's. Its no fun when you're on that side of it. And it was even less fun here for the poor unfortunate microphone, which felt Boeheim's ultimate wrath.

You might not recognize McNamara's name without the word "fucking" attached to it. Yesterday, Orange coach Jim Boeheim lost his mind a bit, screaming about how a reporter for the Daily Orange student newspaper called McNamara "overrated." Of course, Boeheim's aim was way off; the column the reporter wrote actually ran more than a month ago. (He was mostly reacting to a Big East players' poll that had just come out, which had chosen as the conference's most overrated player ... Gerry McNamara.)

But no one will be talking about that now; McNamara probably just shot Syracuse into the tournament.
