Picked from the crowd, Ferris came down to the court to attempt the feat at halftime of the Panthers' game against Boston College. With everyone watching, Ferris needed to make a shot at both ends of the court to collect the prize. 

He made his first shot from the top of the key. He then turned around and launched the second shot, hitting nothing but net and sending the crowd into a frenzy.
