    The long lost Adam Spanich buzzer beater. I cannot find this clip anywhere else on the internet. I have had this clip collecting dust on VHS for almost 10 years now. I've never seen it on "Greatest Plays" highlight shows. I finally got some equipment to put this up on UA-cam.

    Other great comebacks (and great performances) I'll always remember:
    - Lakers' 27-point comeback in the 4th quarter vs. Dallas.
    - McGrady scoring 13 points in the last 35 seconds to beat the Spurs. Houston came from 10 down with less than 50 seconds left.
    - UNLV coming from 10 down in 18 seconds vs. San Diego St.
    - Illinois coming from 12 down with 3 minutes left to shock Arizona in the regional finals.
    And countless others...

    Spanich did indeed score both shots, 6 points in the last 0.8 seconds to win it.
    In the previous year, he hit a miracle buzzer beater shot vs. Arizona to hand them their only Pac-10 loss. In the same game he also hit two free throws late in regulation and a three to send it in overtime.

    Thank you very much for posting this. As a Duck, it pains me to see it again after watching it live. But it is weird that i've never seen it in any "amazing finishes" lists, even on FSN. I guess it just ended too late on the east coast for enough people to see it.

    The Kings comeback was amazing, but they had a lot of time left in the game and they did get within striking distance to start the fourth quarter. It was absolutely incredible, one of those 1-1000 deals.
    But it's still tougher to come from 5 down in 2.8 seconds. Inbounding the ball and making an instant three with time remaining is tough enough; stealing the ball with 0.8 seconds remaining and making a halfcourt shot is absolutely nuts.

To USC fans that may bash me if you watch it in slow mo you can clearly see ball left his hand when clock at 0:00 plus there is no way possible to catch ball take dribble & take shot .8 of a sec. Even if he caught it cleanly & went up for shot still nearly impossible!

    If the play was reviewable I don't think the shot would have counted. If you hear the buzzer while watching Adam Spanich you could see that the ball is still in his hands. It was close though. Spanich, hated that guy, the year prior to this one he banked in a three to send a game against Arizona into overtime and then in overtime at the buzzer he hit a three pointer that made a lucky soft bounce on the rim and fell through. That three pointer beat Arizona and ruined their undefeated bid in the PAC-10. Ironically there was also 2.8 seconds left in that game in overtime. 🤔

    I was at this game in the student section. Obviously as a Duck, I didn't like how it ended ,but it was a great shot. What the video doesn't show you (though Tompkins alluded to it) was after, Spanich jumped on the table in front of the students. Not a huge deal to me, but his problem is it was "Hard Hat Night". They gave each of us pretty solid, heavy hard hats to wear during the game. Lets just say more than one ended up being flung at Spanich...

    This IS the greatest comeback in all of basketball history. It's easier to come back from 31 down or from 10 down with a minute to play than to come from 5 down in 2.8 seconds.
    It's tough enough to score that first three with any time remaining... to be able to score the first three, steal a pass, and hit a halfcourt shot is off the charts. We will never see a better comeback in a hundred years.

    Had it at .25 speed and paused it right at 0.00, but the quality of the image made it inconclusive if the ball was still touching his hands.. But there is a little delay before the clock starts after he catches it adding at least a couple tenths of a second.. But there is going to be some natural error in the starting of the clock, so you can't be expecting exactly 0.8 seconds down to the nanosecond
