University of Arkansas-Fort Smith fans tossed over 5,000 toys onto the court for children of families in need throughout the River Valley for Christmas. (0:35)

Taylor has its Silent Night. The Big Five has its recently revived streamer tosses. This weekend, Arkansas-Fort Smith, a Division II school located in -- well, you guessed it -- elevated the first-basket-scored tradition to a higher plane.

It's called the Toy Toss Game, and it's pretty simple: Fort Smith fans are told to bring a toy to a specific home basketball date around the holidays. The one major stipulation is that the toy be soft. Because when Fort Smith scores its first bucket of the night, fans rain holy toy terror down upon the unsuspecting hardwood floor.

Those toys -- and there are a lot of them -- are then donated to the Salvation Army, which distributes them to needy children in Western Arkansas and the surrounding area.

UAFS went on to a 113-59 win over Ecclesia in the Toy Toss game; Ecclesia declined to shoot the two free throws assessed for the UAFS technical foul. Yes, it's a technical foul for the crowd to throw items on the floor, even when those items are donated toys. But even if the opponent did shoot the two free throws, it would be worth it. Why merely drop a toy off at the local office when you can chuck it 50 feet at a basketball game?
