An LSU cheerleader pulled off an impressive stunt to retrieve a basketball stuck above the hoop at the Final Four

• The No. 1 Virginia Tech Hokies faced the third-seeded LSU Tigers in the women's Final Four.

• Early in the first quarter, the basketball bounced off the rim and got stuck above the backboard.

• An LSU cheerleader whipped out an epic stunt to retrieve the basketball and save the day.

Disaster struck early in the first Final Four matchup of the weekend.

Less than a minute into the No. 3 LSU Tigers' matchup against the top-seeded Virginia Tech Hokies in Dallas Friday night, Virginia Tech's Cayla King launched a three-pointer that bounced off the back of the iron and ricocheted above the backboard.

Then it got stuck there — well out of reach of anyone down on the court.

That's when LSU's cheerleaders stepped up — literally.
