Everybody has that memory of the best game they have seen. You know, the one where someone pulls of something amazing at the last minute to win. Unfortunately, unless you were at one of the games below, your memory isn’t as cool, or shocking, or amazing, as those who were. In no meaningful order, below are what I believe to be the most spectacular finishes in College Sports History.
#1. Barton vs. Winona State
The Story: Barton is down by 7 points to Winona State. Winona state has won the last 50+ games they have played in, the longest winning streak in the history of Division II basketball, a winning streak that included winning last year’s championship and beating Barton. Barton has fewer than 1000 full time students, Winona State has 8000. Now watch the video…
#2. Boise State vs Oklahoma
The Story: Oklahoma doesn’t lose pretty much ever. Boise State puts up an incredibly valient effort, but with only a minute left, they throw an interception and Oklahoma intercepts, running it in for a touch down. With only a few econds left, in overtime, the amazing occurs.
#3. Duke vs Maryland
The Story: Duke has a great program, no doubt. Duke has a great coach, no doubt. But Maryland has a pretty good program themselves. And this night, arguably their best player Shane Battier has fouled out, they are down by 10 points with less than a minute left. They call this the “Miracle Minute”.
#4: Stanford vs. Cal
The Story: This game was so-over, that the marching band, the fans, and everyone else had stormed the field. Ooops.
#5: Duke vs Kentucky
The Story: Bear in mind that the score is already 102 to 103. Kentucky has a slight lead over the Devils in what was already being considered one of the best games of all time in College Basketball. With more lead changes than you could count on 4 hands, this game was as close as they come. And then came this.
