The Ivy League is good for a lot of things. Really smart, driven people. Button-collar oxford shirts with loosened ties. Blue blazers. Settings for movies about cranky or underdeveloped geniuses. Somewhere in there is the basketball, which is played at a level just high enough that if you had the chance to sit down and watch a little Ivy League, you might be surprised. It's good hoops.

Today, the Ivy League has given us something else: The year's best buzzer-beater so far. It's a little too early to call the competition over, but it is going to be hard to top this. (Clicking the video takes you to Harvard's athletics site, where you can watch the highlight.)

That was guard Jeremy Lin hitting that three, which gave Harvard an 87-85 win in triple overtime. In 2008-09, Lin was the only player in college hoops to be in the top 10 in his conference in every statistical category. Fun fact.

Meanwhile, if you want to see that video one more time -- this time soundtracked with an insane broadcaster's screams and shouts -- you can download the link from Chris Villani himself. Turn the volume down on your computer or risk permanent enthusiastic brain damage.
