The Shot

Each generation of fans of a given basketball program will remember The Shot (sometimes more than one of them). That one play that stands out in our minds as a defining moment in a segment of a team's history. Certainly Josh Hagins' step-back three-pointer in the Purdue game will qualify. Other plays in that game were just as important, but that one we will remember as long as we are fans. In all honesty, he probably misses that shot more times than he makes it, but he made it this time, in a special game, in a special season - and thus it will have a special place in our memories.
