How 'bout them Hilltoppers?

Now that's my kind of madness.
My alma mater, Western Kentucky University, finally did what it hadn't done all season: beat a higher-ranked team, Drake. And nice TIMING, dudes. Having grown up in western Kentucky (Murray), I couldn't be more proud of WKU's Ty Rogers (top photo, #5) who hails from nearby Eddyville, Ky. His bucket with no time remaining ranks right up there with the Clarence Glover shot in 1971. In that game against Jacksonville (and Artis Gilmore) Clarence faked tying his shoe, then jumped up from behind, caught the inbounds lob from Gary Sundmaker and scored the winning basket that helped the 1970-71 'Toppers reach the Final Four. Thanks for the trey, Ty--one of THE greatest shots for one of THE finest schools, in my anything but humble opinion. Who knows where it'll lead now?
