Incredible shot to win

I stuck around for the varsity game last night, and saw the most fantastic final shot I've ever seen. It also didn't hurt that it was my alma mater playing an old rival either

Tied ball game with about 20 seconds. Timpview drives, gets fouled, makes second of two foul shots to put them up by one. Head down the other way, Orem works it around looking for a good shot, doesn't find one, puts up a less-than-ideal shot, Timpview gets the rebound. Orem fouls and the clock stops with 0.8 seconds.

March down to the other end. Timpview's shooter misses the front end of a 2 shot. Then, with no Timpview players on the lane, the thrower deliberately misses the second shot. Orem's big man gets the rebound, heaves it the entire length of the court, the buzzer goes of as the ball passes midcourt, and...

NOTHING BUT NET!

Look for it in the upper right-hand corner.
