I've seen a lot of buzzer-beaters over the years, but this is might be the best ever.

I mean, look at this shot from Destiny Slocum.

She shoots from 70 feet out with seconds left in the half ... with two hands over her head like a damn soccer throw-in. I didn't even know that was a thing. Let's see Steph Curry try to match that.

Destiny's Maryland Terrapins went on to beat the West Virginia Mountaineers 83-56 to advance to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA women's tournament.

Maybe next game she'll scoot back and shoot one from the stands.
