Michigan’s Jordan Poole hit the EXACT same buzzer beater in high school

Shoot your shot.

Jordan Poole is the talk of the college basketball world on Sunday morning after his amazing buzzer beater to take down Houston in the second round of the NCAA tournament. But you probably didn’t know he hit the EXACT same shot in high school.

The three on the wing with an off-balance, split-legged jump that left him on the ground when the shot fell — it’s all the same. It’s so close it’s really pretty eerie. Look, credit where it’s due: Not many teams would have the confidence in the freshman to put the ball in his hands in the final seconds to keep their NCAA tournament dreams alive, but Poole showed he can drop this kind of shot, and he did.

Sports are spooky.
