It’s pretty sweet when “Basil,” the mascot for the Holy Cross College basketball team, sinks a half-court shot. But things get much sweeter in the 30 seconds or so afterward, when Basil goes on a fist-pumping, high-five-ing, line-dancing, celebratory rampage.

Also cool: since Basil made the shot, some lucky student will get free textbooks for the semester. Good dog.
