Basketball, team down to 2 players

[kadee79]

AND WON!

Four players fouled out in the game's final three minutes, and Marion County was down to two players -Ty Bowdish and Alex Huffman - with the game tied at 48 with 40 seconds remaining.

Bowdish made two free throws with 15 seconds, and Brynn Baker made two free throws on Atlanta's next possession to tie the score. Marion County turned the ball over, then committed a foul with five seconds remaining. However, both Atlanta free throws were no good.

Bowdish grabbed the defensive rebound and, despite being quadruple-teamed, dribbled the length of the floor. He was fouled with 1.4 seconds remaining. He missed the first free throw but made the second.



That is incredible, and it makes the assessment from the team's coach pretty apropos:

"Been playing, watching, coaching basketball at a lot of different levels. I've never seen anything like I did tonight," Marion County coach Justin Ellison said on his protected Twitter account. "I'm proud of the way we battled."

Nice.  Better than happened to me one time.  Men's league after college and only four players showed up for a game.  Refs let us start with four, and we were up by 17 at halftime.  Had to forfeit even though we were way up because we never got the fifth guy there.  And I recall winning a game with only three players left.  Not sure if we ever did with two.
