Minnesota-Indiana: Blake Hoffarber miracle shot

[coloradokid1992]

We own Indiana

[RayXo9]

The best south-paw in Minnesota history.

[speshel55]

from his keester

[xxlobstersxx682]

Most people don't realize that the shot was not great. What was great was that this white boy out hopped two niggas for the ball

[whiplash505]

i went to high school with this kid.

[TheH2Beast]

This is they guy who made the ground shot.

[Riccibubblegum]

I love being from Minnesota :)

[mrdarylkoh123]

Aimbot.

[RammaJamma22A]

damn good catch, dude needs to play wide receiver

[TheSuperSexyKid23]

WHITE PEOPLE CAN SHOOT

[N00bs0nFire]

SEXY BEAST.

[IGoScallywagDumb]

this kid is ridiculous!!

[lacrossedude6767]

HE HIT IT HE HIT IT HE HIT IT!

[edmister]

aye i just realized he did both miracle shots at .5's... 2.5 secs first time..second time 1.5s

[SuperCoop15]

Minnesota did make the tournament as a 10 seed and lost to 7 seed Texas. Good question

[09packers]

@SuperCoop15 Actually, the Gophers didn't make the tournament that year. They made it in 2009 and 2010, but this happened in 2008, and they lost to Illinois the next game, which knocked them out of tourney consideration.

[boilers2010]

hey minnesota fans,

i'm curious, but just not going to look it up. did you guys make the tourney that year? it shows that after you beat IU (thanks, btw) that made you 20-12. i'm guessing you did as, say, a 10 seed?

if someone wants to remind me on that, it would be nice. thanks!

[coreystenson]

i was listening to the whole game on the radio....greatest game ever and i didnt even watch it....im a 14 yr old diehard gopher fan

[sweetishjeebar]

his sister is fucking hot too

[MaickDawg]

i was here. a true story of beating the refs

[henniferlopay]

haha awesome swingers reference at the end

[Drewshmoo2]

im from minnesota beat that!!!!!!!!!!!

and i like the orlando magic guy

[BeeDubThree]

Tubby Smith is a great coach, a lot of fans didnt respect who he was or what he did at Kentucky.....

[asouthernlife]

i played against him when he was at tulsa.

[maddawg017]

I had his sister in law for a teacher and we got to meet him twice and got his adogragh

[ComicBookGuy2085]

I hope English isn't your first language.

[Drewshmoo2]

yeah right cuz i met obama!

[ieatdoody]

Bitchin! that's sooo sweet

[mplsridah]

I remember back then when he played for high school, that miracle shot, they called him "mr. basketball" of Mn, but why Gophers are losers? And how many good players are out there (including me)?

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

@mplsridah: someone's an egomaniac.

[mplsridah]

you are a loser just like him, haha

[HelloIdiotsWhatsUp]

hahahahah

okay buddy. you go on to your "pro career". i'm sure you'll go far.

[coloradokid1992]

@mplsridah Yeah... pretty sure Hoffarber's a lot better at basketball than you.

That comment of yours was cute though.

[Hopkinshockey03]

He is from Hopkins! BEst!

[mplsridah]

when did he go to u of m?

[Orlandomagic44]

whoa to mak things mad he wore the #24 jersey and 23

[Orlandomagic44]

well another unqie buzzer beater

[mvpguru]

YES YES YES! HE HIT IT! UNBELIEVABLE!

rofl

[Rjk445]

GO MINNESOTA

[CJLJproductions]

He says "YES! YES!" Before the ball is even in the hoop

[TheHonestTheist]

/watch?v=fFH0khjgA0U

[iambeast723]

i saw that live it was insane... then illinois destroyed them

[jessamn18]

blake!!! i cant believe he did it twice... this kid is gunna be pro.. i went to school with him too! woohoo

[natemann133]

Haha lets not get too far ahead of ourselves jessamn18. Hoffarber is a great 3 point shooter when hes on, but hes not playing for the pros.

Either way, too bad I graduated this year because the Gophers are going to make a run this next year with the two MN guys they got coming in.

[jessamn18]

he still is incredible... i mean hey.. two times in a row? cant beat that.. i mean even if he doesn't go pro.. what a career to have when you get an espy award in high school.. and now this kind of shot... hes an amazing kid with lots of luck haha

[TornadoStudios]

The greatest shots ever

[tobytoby45]

Is he left handed?

[Emi117oncp]

Amazing! I remember watching this.

[kingsley82]

Had a class at the U with his sister...hot.

[milkdafunkycow]

miami is the U, not minnesota

[wakeboardMN10]

in minnesota, we call minnesota the U. nationally, yes miami is known as the U.

[dirtbikernick]

right..

[wakeboardMN10]

what? it is true. maybe you should come here and ask people what the U is and they will say the U is the University of Minnesota. Of course, on a national level Miami is known as the U but around here if you say that you are headed to the U for college, it means you are going to Minnesota.

[dirtbikernick]

dude, i know i live in mn.

when you say the U, its the U in mpls/stpaul

i go down there like every weekend, right by arbys

[dirtbikernick]

who is she?

[kgalvin15]

I was listining to this game on the radio with my neighbors, and we were all disappointed that we blew it but then we heard the announcers screamming he made it and we all just looked around at each other for at least 5 seconds thinking "did i hear what you heard!" and then we just erupted and we went crazy. What a ridiculous shot. Gives me chills

[ccwinslow3]

These are the best basketball plays in the history of basketball.

[TornadoStudios]

Those were the coolest shots ever

[tenolein]

That was a great shot..

Little known fact.. Busch, the kid who QB passed it to Blake, was in the stands the year Blake put that shot in from his butt.. Busch, Minnesota's Mr. Basketball 2005. Blake, Minnesota's Mr. Basketball 2007. Fitting.

[JAMM12300809]

tht was crazy

[gophers3000]

one of the best weeks of my life when he hit that shot

[Mak933]

I remember watching the highschool game when I was senior. Watched the shot live on TV at home and I was like... what the hell just happened? This kid does have a gift. He's not actually not that great of a ball player, but he does have some sort of a weird and crazy skill for clutch shots.

[happinessrunns]

I have that dudes autograph, and Tubby Smiths

[mikereynolds4444]

the kid just has a knack for hitting big shots apparently

[joe41182]

blake is a great player once he gets his opportunity he can make you pay

[dhj21]

Big shot Blake.

[KSUmst3k]

That was cool, I always love to hear the team's announcers going nuts!

[Stephhonn32]

Hoffarber is the Most pure Shooter in The big ten maybe even in college basketball.

[esu21]

He's not just clutch, that boy has angels with him.

[AndyVanHalen]

hahahaha for sure

[lashleyunit1]

I remember I was at this game in Indy. There were IU fans surrounding me. ( Im a Purdue fan )And when blake made that shot I was jumping up and down and all the IU fans were staring at me.

[mosha11]

hes a lefty anyways

[TKDCats312]

Wow. To make this even better though, if you didn't know, Tubby Smith had told Hoffarber to shoot the ball with his left hand on that play. That's just amazing.

[wakeboardMN10]

that's b/c he is a lefty

[GunzfactorianxX]

That makes it worse. If he WAS a righty and tubby smith didn't say anything, and he just randomly shot it with his left because that was his free hand, THAT would have been better.

[Bill46214]

Being an avid Purdue Boilermaker fan, this was the best thing ever to happen to an IU Hoosier!!

[AllPowerfulMitch]

Hoffarber is a total badass!

[atdeaver]

I wasn't sure he made it until the replay... that was a close one!

[crossover707]

i was there wen he made the shot on his back... GO OSSEO!

[AlexR218]

wow this guy is clutch

[stealthamo]

I was watching this live when it happened. I was rooting so hard for Minnesota to win. I can't wait to see what Minnesota does in the coming years.

[StraightCash025]

yeah i live in mn. its soo great to finally see them moving in a good direction. it definatley wont be an "easy win" for the other teams like it usually always was lol.

[23bballking23]

yeah same here minnesota is finally getting good in its sports (except the t-wolves they need some work)

[DewMan47]

BLAKE HOFFARBER IS MY HERO!

[MNallday1]

Fuck Indiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sportswiz14]

What else can this kid do? Make a full court shot from his back?

[qd43]

"All growsed up?" Try "all growns up". Another fucking idiot sports anchor butchering a movie reference.

[nuage7777]

Minnesota! Stop the drama, vote OBAMA! 8 years of "Bush-shit" was enough! No need for another McBush! The rest of the world is cheering for OBAMA! It's time for OBAMA! VOTE!

[Nubsauce101]

ur telling this to the state that has the record for consecutive elections voting democratic

[nuage7777]

Still...It doesn't hurt in any way to tell people to go vote! OBAMA/BIDEN 08!

[MNallday1]

fuck OBAMA BI(NLA)DEN!!!

[hoosier210]

silver spoon feed rich kid!  Hopkins sucks

[uchiabetrayer2]

nothing wrong with balek hoffarber but, hopkins did get its ass owned by eden in the section final . Now Blaine has to fucking play this undefeated team, so GO BLAINE BENGALS!!!!!

[StraightCash025]

did you see that fucker #34 from wayzata who came out of no where on that punt and basically killed that blaine guy! i wanted to jump through my TV and beat his ass. thats such a cheap shot. and to top it off, the coaches were congratulating them. wayzata is such assholes, especially that #34. he was doing cheap shots to St.Cloud tech too.

[uchiabetrayer2]

i saw that too i was ready to beat that guys ass

[mostlyawake]

Have you seen what Lieberman is up to lately with YouTube censorship? Look it up. It's well known Lieberman will be a top guy in McCain's cabinet. This is what you get with Neocons who see devils everywhere. More censorship. More wars. Less freedom. And debt that your grandchildren's children will still be paying to China. McCain says he doesn't get the economy. It shows. SOMEONE has to say ENOUGH. How many more wars you want us to pay for, John? Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan... where else?

[mostlyawake]

The US is in the middle of one of the greatest economic struggles in our history. John McCain has told you he doesn't get the economy. Think now. He told you flatout he doesn't understand the economy. He almost failed out of college. He is so lost about finances, he doesn't even know how many houses he has. Probably 11. McCain and Bush hold the same failed policies. They say the economy is fine, and want to continue to send trillions of your taxes to China to fund a war they lied us into.

[getemnate]

gophers will be tough this year!

[cmoney1860]

go anoka woo!

[2bgreat]
