If you missed the Division II Championship on Saturday (and I did), then you have to watch this video of the last 45 seconds. Hell, if you watched the game, click that link to enjoy it again. It’s one of the most amazing sequences of basketball I’ve ever seen.
If you don’t know the story, Winona State was up 7 points with 45 seconds left. They had won 57 games in a row. The point guard for Barton proceeds to outscore Winona 10-1 in the final 36 seconds for the win, including a layup with .1 seconds left.
And if that’s not enough (and it really is), the same dude, Anthony Atkinson, had hit game-winners in each of their two previous tournament games!
Hollywood would reject a script with that in it.
