20-And-OH!
Associated Press Photographer, Paul Sakuma was not the only one to get the best shot of the day. Nick Robinson, #21 of the Stanford Cardinal Men's Basketball Team put up a 3-pointer from 35 feet away to beat Arizona at the buzzer. Final score: Stanford 80, Arizona 77. Amazing shot, Nick!
Check out Tiger Woods and fiancee, Elin Nordegren watching in the background.
Are the Stanford fans pumped or what?

******************************
With two seconds left, it's "Yes, Yes, Yes, Robinson at the buzzer. Unbelievable. Stanford stays unbeaten. It's a mob scene," says Brent Musburger.
ABC Sports Color Commentator, Dick Vitale chimes in "24 years old. His wife might have the baby tonight. She's scheduled to have a baby March 1st. She's probably jumping with joy."
Musburger said it well with Tiger in the House, "It's like a 36 foot putt down at Augusta to wrap up the Masters on the 18th green." He added "This one will head right to ESPN Classic."
Musburger was also dead-on when he said, "Folks, it is New Year's Eve here in Palo Alto."
Once again, we're thanking the makers of TiVo; this time, for the opportunity to watch and rewatch the Cardinal's amazing down-to-the-wire ending.
One of the unsung heroes of tonight's performance was Matt Lottich, who stole the ball with 32 seconds left in the game, which led to Josh Childress hitting a huge three-pointer to tie it up. Arizona has twenty-three seconds to bring it down court and win. Stanford drops back. Lottich again, playing defense, sets up the play and leads to Robinson's steal. The rest is history.
Stanford's 20th straight win tonight ties the school record.
Go Cardinal!
