Classic Clips - "Go Home!"

Welcome to Classic Clips, 2.0! I'm taking over for Quaz on our weekly look at the most memorable plays in sports history, but the byline isn't the only thing you can expect to change. In addition to the historic highlights we all know and love, I'll be sprinkling in some amazing plays and finishes that you most likely missed when they happened. I also plan to focus on clips that relate to the most active sports each season. Right now, for example, while you may see some NBA, NHL and baseball bits, I'll most likely be force feeding you my favorite February/March sport - college basketball. MLB has October, the NFL has January and college football, for all its faults, captures the imagination throughout the fall and early winter, but nothing, aside from those fanciful first pitches and catches down south, can pull me away from NCAA hoops in February and March.



But enough about me. This is Bracket Buster week, which provides America a unique look at the small and mid-major teams that are poised to end some of the big boys' dreams next month. In honor of the little guy, here is a clip from 2006, in which little known independent Chicago State scores 6 points in the final 4 seconds to upset the mighty Kangaroos of the Horizon League's University of Missouri at Kansas City (which, even on its full ESPN team page goes by just "UMKC"). And on the 'Roos home court no less, a fact made blatantly clear by the reaction of Chicago St.'s No. 14 - check him out from about 0:43 to the 0:54 mark (his contributions here far outweigh his goofy looking, game-tying trey just moments earlier). A clip like this just wouldn't be complete without the most horrendous green unis since the Sonics', circa '83, and a three-chucking, bird-flipping, SmackJabbing cracker named Inabnit. Priceless.
