Put 'em in the Holsters!!

One of the single greatest moments in Shocker history!

Thank you, Nurger, for blessing us mere mortals with this gift!

I cracked up when I saw that. Don't start getting cocky Nurger.

It was indeed an awesome moment. It is so great to see how far this young man has progressed in his basketball skills and physical strength. Now he enjoys the fruits of his hard work. Good job Rauno!

That was similar to what I also said in the game thread right after the game. Then later he did a salute from the bench cheering on his Shocks. Would Eddie Fogler have benched him as he did when he did Sasha on his famous move with the ball between his legs that faked foes out of their minds? Prolly, but I see Rauno make lots of shots in warm ups just like the ones he made today with the beaming lights glaring. Just think when both he and CF get their confidence going strong as the games march on. Watch Out!!!!!!!!!!!

right. and i think zach brown could do with some conficence too. a couple of his three point attempts were way-- off.

c'mon, zach, you were wide--open.

What made it even better was the announcers saying "Did you see that?!" Followed by a full analytical breakdown of the epicness.

Pure (black and) gold.

You would be correct. Only difference is that Sasha's was technically a basketball move not a celebratory one. Not sure the game was as fun for Sasha for awhile after that.

Can we get a video? I didn't see it. I may have to re-run the game on ESPN3 and take a look.

[AZ Shocker]

Perfect commentary! Got a big chuckle when the announcer did it.

[Shock Top]

I was looking for it on YouTube, but no luck yet.

I'm sure some loyal SNer will upload it this evening.

Don't know if he enjoyed the rest of the game but that play still lives vividly in many memories. A few moments in Eddie's doghouse probably worth an eternal place in Shocker lore.

Having the 5's be able to pick and pop for 3 point shots is huge with a shorter time clock. If they hit their open 3's at greater than 33% you will see lanes start to really open for guards and back cuts.

[Shocker Mama]

That was hilarious! And it made me think that they probably don't have any gunfighter history in Estonia, so Rauno has become a Kansan!

I added the image, but no video yet. I'll add it to the first post once one is posted.

On ESPN3 replay, it starts a little after the 1h4m mark.
