The Tennessee Volunteers basketball team pulled off a thrilling 68-65 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday, thanks to a game-winning 3-pointer by freshman guard Jahmai Mashack.
The shot, which came with just 0.2 seconds remaining on the clock, was a deep 3-pointer from the top of the key that sailed through the net and sent the Tennessee bench into a frenzy.
The radio call of the shot, made by Tennessee’s play-by-play announcer Bob Kesling, is a must-listen for Vols fans. Kesling’s excitement and enthusiasm are palpable as he describes the shot and the ensuing celebration.
“Oh, my goodness! Jahmai Mashack, the freshman from Kansas City, Missouri, has won the game for the Tennessee Volunteers! A 3-pointer from the top of the key, with 0.2 seconds remaining! The Vols bench is going crazy! Mashack is being mobbed by his teammates!”
The shot was a fitting end to a back-and-forth game that saw both teams trade baskets and neither able to gain a significant advantage. Tennessee led by as many as seven points in the first half, but Alabama rallied to take a 32-31 lead at halftime.
The second half was more of the same, with the teams trading baskets and neither able to gain a clear advantage. Tennessee’s Santiago Vescovi led all scorers with 21 points, while Alabama’s Jaden Shackelford added 20 points in a losing effort.
