It may not have counted...but this full court shot by Brice Johnson was ridiculous. https://t.co/tUWTHgvLaR

The Full Court Shot (After the Buzzer)
Just before halftime of a game in Chapel Hill that North Carolina was drubbing Miami, Brice Johnson hurled an 80-foot shot the length of the court and drained it. The only problem is that the buzzer had already sounded.
The already jubilant crowd jumped up in excitement when Johnson hit the shot. They didn’t care that it wasn’t going to count. The mere spectacle of the 6-9 big man nailing a nearly full court shot was enough for them.
I wish it would've counted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/d8zJ6GQtoK

A fluke? Maybe not.
Days later, Marcus Paige recounted that Johnson hit nearly the same shot in practice the following day after teammate Kennedy Meeks bet him that he couldn’t.
