Was Elijah's shot the longest SU shot ever?

[Eric15]

It was what, 75 feet? Has any SU player ever made a shot that long?

 

[NateW]

Not sure about longest but had to be the highest

 

[MikeDamone]

If he had been in the middle of the court it would have hit the scoreboard. It disappeared behind it

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Has to be close since it wasn't a standard inbounds play he was right on the sideline.

He was also being defended I'm not sure I've ever seen a shot like that with the other team actually playing D.

 

[Cowtown]

Not sure about longest bud had to be the highest

I swear I saw snow on it when it came down.

Good thing there's no jumbo-tron at half court.

 

[SoBristol]

Has to be the longest - At least since JB was in short pants.

 

[Shark58]

even Sonny Spera was impressed

I have no memory of a longer shot by the Orange.

After that shot, one of my Duke friends wrote: I hope this is not at OMEN. And I thought: It just MIGHT be!

WOW.

Well, he's used to shooting in a dome.

In Jerry World it would have hit the scoreboard

 

[corpjet]

Should have been worth 4 points...refs screwed us again!

 

[kmart128]

Surprised the ball even made it to the hoop let alone go in. It was really far. He was headed side to side instead of towards the basket. And just looked unbalanced. Some amazing strength to even get the ball to the hoop in that circumstance

Whoa. Let’s not bury the lede here. “Duke friends”? Yuck.

WOW.

The omen was knowing that white was eventually going to hit a three and it would’ve been the game winner and he would’ve been 1-10 but that didn’t happen so thank the Round Man for that one.

I hope you responded with a picture of the creepy Satan kid from the Omen movie.

Good call on that one. I feel like Devo's shot was maybe 3-4 feet closer.

 

[OttoMets]

Speaking of records, I wonder how many Syracuse players have attempted 30 field goals in a game like the Duke kid did. Too lazy to look it up.

I'm pretty sure an SU guy who went 8-30 in a loss would automatically become my least favorite player ever.

 

[Skinny.Atlas]

I remember Dale Shackleford hitting a shot from under the opposing teams basket as the first half of a game ended. He rebounded the ball. Everyone thought the half was over and he threw a hook shot the full length of the court and it went in. There was some controversy about the clock, but I think the shot counted. I tried a google quick search to see if I could find anything, but youtube and the internet weren't as popular back in the late 70s. Anyone else remember this? As I recall, they called it an 88' shot.
