Best finish to a basketball game I've ever ever seen
Sunday, March 25, 2007
Let me set the scene for you. But keep in mind that only watching the actual video will do it total justice.
- March 24, 2007.
- Division II National Basketball Championship.
- Barton College vs. Winona State.
- Winona has a two-year, 57-game winning streak (an NCAA D-II record).
- Winona is defending National Champions.
- Winona State has a student population of 8,000.
- Barton has 925 full-time students.
- Barton won their previous two games (quarters and semis) on last second shots by star - Anthony Atkinson (remember the name).
- CBS Sports national television.
- The game is truly a David vs. Goliath matchup.
- Winona is winning 74-67 with 45 seconds left.
Words can't describe the rest - watch the video below.
Read the article. And to top it off, a celebrating Barton player throws his jersey in the air and it lands on a Winona player's head (can be seen with 1:05 left in the video and also in more detail on today's SportsCenter's top 10 plays).
