Sports Fact of the Day 1/21/2007

1/21/1980:
With the score tied at 77-77 and only seconds remaining, Les Henson of Virginia Tech rebounds a missed shot by Florida State and heaves the ball the length of the court-89'3"-as time expires. His desperation fling goes straight through the hoop for the longest field goal in college basketball history and gives the Hokies a 79-77 win over the stunned Seminoles on their home floor in Tallahassee. Making this feat even more amazing, Henson is a left-handed player and he threw the ball right-handed!
