Tar Heels’ Church goes viral with video of back-to-basket 3s

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina’s Leah Church apparently doesn’t need to even see the basket to hit 3-pointers.

In a video posted Saturday on social media , the junior guard hit three consecutive long 3s while shooting over her head with her back to the basket. The viral clip has more than 1 million views while also being featured on NBC’s “Today” show.

Church gained national attention for online videos showing her making 120 3-pointers in five minutes in 2015 and 55 consecutive 3s in 2016.

She told The Associated Press she was trying to make two in a row in the driveway of her family’s home and asked her mother to film it in case she was successful.
