The recent college basketball game between Holy Cross and Boston had a peculiar moment that fans will remember. Teams of other sports showing support in the same athletic program is a mark of good sportsmanship. The Holy Cross men's swimming team did just that by showing up for their basketball counterparts.

When Boston's Ethan Okwuosa lined up to make his two free throws in the first half, the Holy Cross men's swim team came out from the pool next door in their speedos to try and distract the Boston player and make him miss his mark.

Fans attending the game took it positively, leading to the hilarious moment now going viral on social media. The almost naked men in their speedos tried their best to distract Ethan Okwuosa. But Okwuosa was locked in focus and converted both free throws to give Boston a 39-33 lead in the first half.
