Last night, Oklahoma boys' 3A playoffs. Hugo High School inbounding, up one point on Millwood, 3.7 seconds left.

Hugo guard Trey Johnson, who we should all feel so bad for, springs free from his defender. He catches the ball, dribbles once, sets, and lays it into the wrong basket, his basket, uncontested. Millwood wins, 38-37. The crowd shrieks, in that way only a crowd who has seen a player score on his own team can.

"Without a doubt, that's the toughest locker room I've ever had to talk to," Hugo coach Darnell Shanklin said. I can't even muster up jokes. Johnson had a brainlock at the exact wrong moment to score the second of his two baskets on the night. It's just depressing. These buzzer-beater videos that have been everywhere the last few weeks have finally gotten out of hand.

LMAO

That's pretty funny.

So my question is. If they're up 1 with say a second left, what was...

"Yo I'm about to get something amazing."

about? An inbound and an immediate foul? Or was the crowd getting ready to rush the court and that's what he wanted to tape??

He must be related to Phil Pressey!

The Russian mob got to him.

LMAO

Yeah, that's weird. And then he said something like, "We're going to be on ESPN." WTF was that?

Saw that happen in JV Highschool once. Inbounded the ball up one at own end and the kid got confused and laid it in for the game winner for the other team, heh.

With so little time on the clock why run the inbound play towards your own basket? I blame the coach somewhat also unless the kid just went rogue.

Holy crap, what are the odds of this happening twice in the same game? That's amazing.

****

Meh, at this point the Q is funnier than the video.

True. It's pretty bad when I start me first thread in months and it's 5 hours late.


Next thing you know, I will discover that Alex Smith was traded to the Chiefs.
