Started in Dec 2005 So that’s 4 losses on halfcourt buzzer beaters in just over 20 years Sean Dockery Duke Dec 4 2005 Dante Jackson Xavier Nov 21 2008 in Puerto Rico Charlie Moore Miami 2022 Boopie Miller SMU 2026 Throw in the 3/4 court halftime buzzer beater by Texas in 2022 NCAA if you want because we had the lead going to half otherwise…huge momentum swing And there are highlights of all of them on YouTub still btw Now about those Metatarsals WHAT have VT fans done to deserve this misery? ** Edited by hokiepro at 1/16/2026, 8:38:03 AM ** Edited by hokiepro at 1/16/2026, 8:42:07 AM

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...

Quote I use often when asked:
RRHokie90 • 01/17/26 08:48 AM ET
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
HokieAl • 01/16/26 01:09 PM ET
With his non-dominant hand**
TomTurkey • 01/16/26 11:46 AM ET
Thanks for sharing this is a cool historical moment I'd never heard of**
T-Austin • 01/16/26 11:37 AM ET
Saw it live as well, on the tube @ Dutch Village, we lost our sh!t**
astrohokie • 01/16/26 11:15 AM ET
J4 Dutch Village for three years in the late 80's.**
vtdasc90 • 01/16/26 05:46 PM ET
A guy from Marshall broke that record in 1985.**
Will StewartAdmin • 01/16/26 11:10 AM ET
Incorrect!!!!!
SteveInBaltimore • 01/16/26 12:18 PM ET
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.
