NEW YORK -- From 80 feet away, and right on the money!
Wake Forest reserve forward Greg McClinton electrified his teammates -- and the buzzing Brooklyn crowd -- when he connected on an amazing heave from behind the elbow of his own foul line at the end of the first half Wednesday night a 99-90 loss to Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament.
With a second on the clock, the Hokies tried a long pass from their own baseline to the other end of the court. The pass missed its intended target, McClinton grabbed the loose ball on one bounce and let fly with a one-handed fling just before the horn sounded.
