I was looking through old videos I uploaded and found a fun one - a fan hits a half court shot at the GW-Charlotte game on March 4, 2006.
The fan has two tries and missed the first but drills the second, and celebrates by tearing his shirt off and running around.
It was a great game too, the last game of the season and the famous buzzer beater that gave GW an 86-85 victory, which meant the good guys finished 16-0 in the Atlantic 10 and got an NCAA bid. The Colonials (at the time) fell in the A10 tourney so this win definitely helped.
In the tourney, the Colonials (at that time) beat UNC-Wilmington before losing to Duke in Greensboro. They got a rough seed, despite being 26-2 and #6 in the AP poll, partially because star forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu was injured. And in my opinion, GW got hosed by the refs. I understood all the hate about Duke by witnessing it in the person. Credit to Coach K for working the refs. But it was a great season and fun run.
