YESTERDAY'S RESULTS COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Orlando Woolridge's 16-ft. jump shot at the buzzer lifted 11th-ranked Notre Dame to a 57-56 upset victory yesterday over top-ranked (in some polls) Virginia, handing the Cavaliers their first loss of the season and breaking the longest major-college winning streak at 28.
With ten seconds remaining in the game, Virginia's Lee Raker threw away an inbounds pass and, after a timeout, Notre Dame made its move. Fighting Irish guard Tracy Jackson missed a shot, and N.D.'s Kelley Tripucka was stripped of the ball as he attempted to convert the rebound.
Woolridge grabbed the loose ball going away from the basket, turned around, and let the winning basket fly.
"I have never made a bigger basket," Woolridge said afterward. "I grabbed the ball, turned and shot and didn't think about it until I saw it went through the hoop. It happened so quick I didn't realize the impact until about 800 people jumped on me."
