NCAA at 75 - College Basketball

38. All hail Ali

To use a Bill Raftery-ism, it might be the most "onions" shot in NCAA tournament history, a pull-up jumper on a two-on-one break by a player who couldn't buy a second-half bucket against one of the bluest bloods in college basketball. Ali Farokhmanesh's dagger was as daring as it was stunning, defying every bit of conventional basketball wisdom, yet somehow it worked. The Northern Iowa senior managed to beat Kansas and put his tiny school on the sports map in one stroke, his 21-footer leading the Panthers to the 69-67 second-round upset of the Jayhawks in 2010. -- Dana O'Neil
