Here’s what makes life – and sports – wonderful.

When Stephanie Quattrociocchi (Quat-tro-chuckie) woke up Saturday morning, she was your typical small-college basketball player. Meaning all but unknown to anyone beyond her circle of family and friends.

By Sunday evening, the University of the Cumberlands senior guard with the impossible-to-say last name was on ESPN’s SportsCenter as the No. 1 play from the entire sports weekend.

“I couldn’t believe it’ they even said my name right,” Quattrociocchi said Monday.

All it took was the 5-foot-7 senior rifling in an 86-foot buzzer beater to end the first half of Saturday’s Cumberlands game against Campbellsville University.

Don’t tell Jay Cutler, but the most improbable thing is the almost-full-court heave was hit by a player playing since the second game of the season with a torn ACL in her right knee.
