Hoopster's Shot Scores on YouTube

With two seconds to go and his team down by two points, Manhattan College guard Michael Alvarado let fly a shot toward the basket, 65 feet away. It banked off the backboard, went in – and gave the Jaspers a one-point win at Marist College, sparking a wild on-court celebration and thrusting Alvarado and his team into a lasting digital spotlight.

Within hours of the Jan. 30 shot of a lifetime, Alvarado’s late-game heroics were all over TV, and Web replays were being viewed around the globe.
