A Great Ending

For today's post I just want to revisit an ending to a great game. The Division II Championship from 2007 featuring Barton College vs. Winona State. If you have never seen the game, take a look at the video here which gives you the electrifying final 45 seconds.



Down seven with 45 seconds left to comeback and win, incredible finish. Some good lessons to be learned.

-First of all you can see how you let a team back into the game by not making foul shots.

-Second, take care of your inbounds passes. Twice Winona tries inbounding quickly before they were organized and twice it cost them two possessions and turned into Barton scores.

-Finally, don't stop playing. You never know in this game so play it out till the clock is up. Most times its a coach that gives up first before a player does.
