In case you haven't figured it out yet, UConn guard Kemba Walker is pretty good. But Walker's greatest talents lie in slashing to the hoop and drawing fouls.

So when Walker hit this ridiculous 40-footer to beat the shot clock buzzer in overtime against Texas, it defied expectation and logic.

I've now watched this video five or six times, and I still can't figure out what compelled Walker to take the shot, but the most amazing thing about it is that he doesn't even hit the rim. I think I could take that shot with two hands 100 times and swish five. Maybe.

Meanwhile, Walker may have just figured out how he's going to win every future game of H-O-R-S-E he finds himself in. (He also helped UConn beat Texas, 82-81, but holy crap, that shot.)

How was that a buzzer beater to beat Texas in OT? There was 2:15 left in OT when he hit it.

It beat the buzzer which was the 35 second shot clock which helped them win in OT. Title is misleading us to believe it was a gamewinner tho

Mine was Ray - Ray

I loved Caron for carrying a bunch of freshmen (he was just a sophomore) from unranked to BE Champions to a 2 seed to the Elite 8, being the only team to even compete with the Twerps that year.

Kemba is carrying a bunch of kids too

who were the two now famous freshmen that played with Caron?
