Watch This Georgia Southern Player's Backward, Full-Court Buzzer Beater

STATESBORO, GA -- It’s not often that an intramural basketball game makes it onto SportsCenter.

But that’s just what happened after a matchup this week, in which Georgia Southern’s Loy Waters heaved an unlikely, no-look, full-court shot into the basket for the win.

Video of the shot shows Waters, who is actually a defensive back on the Georgia Southern football team, scoop up the ball at his own baseline and fling it backward over his head in a desperation shot that hits nothing but net.

A tweet sent out by Georgia Southern Intramurals on Thursday picked up hundreds of likes and retweets, as well as getting the attention of sports media folks from across the country.

“This college kid makes a case for best buzzer-beater ever,” wrote NBC Sports.

“This might be the greatest shot in the history of intramurals,” chimed in ESPN, which, indeed, included the shot in its nightly Top 10.

“Wow, we had no idea there was a Jedi pick-up hoops league,” added SB Nation, giving The Force credit for the miracle toss.
