@w2truong shared insight on what she accomplished, stating:

"to beat this performance, you can only miss up to 2 shots AND both can't be money balls... Basically you need to be perfect"

@rauchg praised her poise:

"I love that she missed the first one but was completely unfazed and undeterred."

@moseskagan claimed:

"One of the more impressive things I’ve ever seen"

Not everyone was impressed, however, as @BrianHassine stated:

"Now, make the rim smaller to match the smaller ball they use.
"The smaller ball is legit. Women have smaller hands, and that's a very fair thing to do. Leaving the rim the same size as the men's rim is the mistake and makes no sense."

@JA_Humes took things further, stating:

"The ball is smaller and line is closer"
