Caroline Doty trick-shot video making the rounds

A knee injury may be keeping Caroline Doty from being able to play for UConn this season but that doesn't mean the sweet-shooting junior isn't still making news with her shot-making prowess.

A video shot mostly by UConn student manager Greg Mihailides of some incredible shots from the stands, while sitting down and others of the "you have to see it to believe" variety is making the rounds.

Doty chuckled when she was asked about it before Monday's practice.

"We were able to put something together," Doty said. "Kyle Singler (of Duke) had a YouTube video called buckets. We were watching that and it kind of inspired me a little bit to try some trick shots. Greg, our manager, took shots of them and started videotaping them. My freshman year when I was injured, Rosemary (Ragle, UConn's women's basketball trainer) would rebound for me and I would do ridiculous shots, over the backboard or something crazy so that kind of started it. This year, I kind of got that shot down from freshman year. This year we were trying something new, having some fun."

Even Doty got a chuckle when she saw the finished product.

"Doing it, you remember back to what we were doing at UNC, Maya was there and we were trying to do full-court shots and we were rimming it out. Maya gave me that shot from the corner at UNC. It was just one thing after another. Bria got footage of the Stanford shot on the phone so we were playing around with it and having fun."
