Syracuse, N.Y. ― If you are a Syracuse basketball fans, odds are that you’ve seen Quadir Copeland’s last-second 3-pointer that lifted the Orange to a 72-69 victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday at the JMA Wireless Dome.
But have you seen the shot from every angle possible? Have you seen the video taken by Syracuse football assistant Nick Williams? Or the one that’s punctuated with a comment from a member of the SU football team?
Well, we’ve got every angle covered with this compilation of videos from the thrilling final seconds of Saturday’s game.
As a refresher, let’s begin with this one that shows the final play from ESPN2′s broadcast of the game. It’s actually two angles in one. The first is the live action shot and the second shows the play from the far baseline:
Now let’s go to Section 125 where the Syracuse football coaches were sitting with nearly two dozen recruits. Newly-hired Syracuse assistant coach Nick Williams took this video and that looks like SU assistant Elijah Robinson in the frame at the end.
As long as we’re mixing football with basketball, let’s see the reaction in the stands where current members of the Syracuse football team were sitting when Copeland connected on his game-winner.
That’s one of SU’s incoming freshmen players with the “Tell ‘em Cuse back’' line at the end of the video.
Maybe one of the best overall videos of Syracuse’s final play comes from Syracuse.com sports writer Kenny Lacy, who took his family to the game. They were seated in the 200 level, which provided a superb view of the play.
This is a different viewpoint from the opposite end of the court. You can really appreciate the length of Judah Mintz’s crosscourt pass to Quadir Copeland from here.
And let’s finish with this really cool video from on high. You can really see the final play develop from this angle.
Nice camera work!
