Arizona State forward Shaquielle McKissic is known for his intensity and acrobatics during basketball games.

Now, after his last as a Sun Devil, he’ll also be remembered by coaches and fans alike for a simple tweet sent out after ASU fell to Richmond in the second round of the NIT Tournament Sunday night.

McKissic was granted an extra year of eligibility with the Sun Devils and averaged 12.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
