Ali Farokhmanesh's Legendary March Shot

Title: The Shot That Echoed Forever

Chapter 1: The Underdog

Ali Farokhmanesh had always been overlooked. Standing at just 6’0' in a world of giants, he wasn’t the fastest, the tallest, or the most athletic player on the court. But he had one thing no one could teach: ice in his veins.

After bouncing around junior colleges, Ali landed at Northern Iowa, a mid-major program that rarely made noise in March. But in 2010, everything changed.

Chapter 2: The Moment

The Panthers had already stunned the college basketball world by knocking off top-seeded Kansas in the NCAA Tournament’s second round. With the game tied at 63 and under a minute left, UNI held the ball, looking to take the last shot.

Then, with 35 seconds left—far earlier than any coach would want—Ali caught a pass, hesitated for just a split second, and launched a three-pointer from well beyond the arc.

Swish.

The crowd erupted. Kansas panicked. And in that moment, Ali Farokhmanesh became a March Madness legend.

Chapter 3: The Aftermath

The shot was replayed endlessly on SportsCenter, immortalized in highlight reels, and even referenced by President Obama. Northern Iowa’s Cinderella run ended in the next round, but Ali’s fearless shot became a symbol of underdog triumph.

Years later, coaches still use it as a teaching moment: Sometimes, you just have to trust yourself.

Ali never made the NBA, but his legacy lived on—not in stats, but in the hearts of every kid who ever dreamed of hitting the big shot when it mattered most.

Epilogue: The Legend Lives

Today, if you ask a basketball fan about the most clutch shots in NCAA history, they’ll mention Laettner, Jenkins… and Farokhmanesh. Because in March, anything is possible—and sometimes, the unlikeliest heroes rise to the occasion.

And that’s why, years later, Ali’s shot still echoes.
