Guess Delvin has a 99 on full court shooting and a 1 on free throws haha. At least he got his redemption for the line misses. What an ending.

Love exciting endings! Thanks for sharing that.

Of course, if I were coaching Tarleton State, I'd be down in the dumps.

I was coaching and fought the entire second half to dig out of a ten point deficit at the half (was down 50-40 halftime)

Down by 7 with only 5 minutes left. Everything worked perfectly that last minute of the game, fouling getting the right guy to the line for them, timeouts, etc……..until the last 3 seconds uggghhh

Heartbreak for me, but I can only imagine the jubilation and sigh of relief for them
