Incorrect!!!!!

DJ Golf said "we did make the longest game-wining shot in the history of basketbal". Will said: "A guy from Marshall broke that record in 1985". Yes, the guy from Marshall DID hit a shot that was considered longer than Henson's. But it was at the end of the first half. So DJ Golf is still correct: the Henson Heave is, as far as I know, the longest GAME-WINNING shot in the history of basketball.

Crazy to think all of those coaches never thought to just "guard better"
GCHokie34 • 01/16/26 11:16 AM ET
Crazy that just cause you’re a coach no one else can ever have an opinion
cbhokie1 • 01/16/26 01:22 PM ET
rotflmfao!!! Good grief! In your world players shoot mid court shots and
ancient alien 2018 • 01/16/26 05:45 PM ET
Just because someone disagrees with your opinion……
Jackie VT • 01/16/26 03:14 PM ET
That’s NOT a wide open shot. A right handed player was forced down the left
hokiepro • 01/16/26 02:07 PM ET
Who's disagreeing?**
TomTurkey • 01/16/26 01:51 PM ET
No one said no one else can have an opinion...

Well, we did make the longest game-winning shot in the history of basketbal
DJ Golf • 01/16/26 10:54 AM ET
I like how the cheerleaders are just no hesitation storming the FSU court

Well-played, sir.**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 02:22 PM ET
That guy is currently a ref that does our games.
vatechcowpatty • 01/16/26 11:10 AM ET
Yes it was and someone said it’s the bball gods paying us back BUT
hokiepro • 01/16/26 11:06 AM ET
Actually didn't FSU kind of pay us back
SteveInBaltimore • 01/16/26 02:10 PM ET
Hey, @Chris Coleman ....
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 10:47 AM ET
That was the greenberg flip out game! Was at this one - odu fans were loud
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 11:03 AM ET
Isn't that Stacey Palmore who recently passed away there on the VT staff**
Italian Stallion • 01/16/26 02:59 PM ET
Yes**
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 03:25 PM ET
Current UVa head coach Ryan Odom was the "get back" guy for . . .
HokieKip • 01/16/26 01:00 PM ET
And ODU fans never let us forget it. **
Stork • 01/16/26 12:19 PM ET
#1 for ODU clearly walks at the 2:55 mark. Also ... Ryan Odom sighting**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 11:08 AM ET
I think I remember it happening, but I don't remember the year.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/16/26 10:56 AM ET
Oh yeah we’ve definitely had some halftime buzzer beaters from at or near
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:53 AM ET
Is this really an outlier? I mean that's 4 over ~600 games. Or .67%.
marcbvtgm • 01/16/26 09:24 AM ET
I can’t remember any game we won on a half court shot
AnotherTechW • 01/16/26 11:06 AM ET
We haven’t won one longer than a standard 3 pt distance in
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:24 AM ET
We’re not talking 30 footers the shortest one was 42 Dockery’s
hokiepro • 01/16/26 10:22 AM ET
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me.
