Dante Jackson's Half Court Shot To Help Xavier Beat Virginia Tech 63-62

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try Again. If You Fail 8 Times In A Row, Launch A Prayer From Half Court

Through all of regulation and 4:57 into overtime, Dante Jackson was 0-8 shooting. His 2 points had come via free throws, but he was shooting terribly from the floor. However, with his Xavier Musketeers trailing Virginia Tech 62-60 with 3 seconds left in OT, Jackson took the inbound pass and launched a prayer from half court as time expired. Somehow, that was his first field goal of the night, but it was the only one that mattered, as it resulted in a 63-62 win for Xavier.

I'm not sure if I would have given it to the guy who was 0-8 in that situation, but it looks like it paid off this time for Xavier, who will go on to play Memphis in the finals of the Puerto Rico Tip Off today.

No matter how many times you shoot the ball you put the shot up to go in the basket. There is NO luck in doing that because that is the object of the game.
