Boom shakalaka!

South Dakota State University’s Jackrabbits hit five half-court shots in a row, and it was all caught on video.

The women’s basketball team accomplished the feat during pregame practice on Thursday. The video was shared on Twitter, and has since gone viral.

“[The feeling when]…it’s -17318299427 degrees outside but straight [fire] inside,” the team captioned the video.

One by one, five of the team’s players — Sydney Stapleton, Addison Hirschman, Paiton Burckhard, Jordan Ferrand and Lindsey Theuninck — took turns taking shots from way downtown. Amazingly, they all went in.

Freshman Tori Nelson also made a half-court shot, according to the caption. However, it wasn’t captured in the viral video.

The Jackrabbits continued their winning streak on Thursday against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks at the Betty Engelstad Sioux Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The Jackrabbits won 74-61.
