"The Shot" refers to a play by the Valparaiso University's Crusaders (now Beacons) that occurred in the Midwest Regional first round of the 1998 NCAA Tournament. The play came in Valpo's game against the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) Rebels at The Myriad in Oklahoma City on March 13, 1998, in which Bryce Drew hit a three-point shot to give the #13 seed Crusaders a 70–69 victory over the #4 seed Rebels. "The Shot" became one of the notable highlights in March Madness history; it was named the fifth most memorable moment in CBS's coverage of the NCAA tournament by sports analyst Gary Parrish in 2007.
