I was on varsity basketball my freshman year and in a preseason tourney I got fouled with a couple seconds left when we were tied. I missed both free throws. At the end of the first overtime we were tied and with a couple seconds left I got fouled and had a one and one and I missed the first and we went on to lose in the 2nd.

For the next month at the end of every practice I had to make 2 free throws or the entire team had to run suicides. Then, I would get another chance and if I didn't make them both we would have to run. This would go on for as long as it took me to make 2 in a row. Most days I hit them both, some it took a few tries. It was miserable since I was the only freshman on the team, there was one other sophomore but everyone else was a junior or senior and I was making them run. We went on to finish 2nd in the state in 5A, the highest division, so it was all was ok in the end but god that sucked.

we had to do this in HS but only if we finished below like 70% or something as a team from the line in the previous game. Everyone had to make 2 free throws or you ran. It was miserable.

intermural basketball championship game we're up by one with about 3-4 seconds left.. teammates on bench start the countdown on the inbounds pass which gets tipped by a teammate,, there a scramble for the ball,, I end up with it, after the bench yells ZERO I throw the ball up in the air

where it lands in the opponents goal


ref ruled I let go of the ball with time left

I never had any big personal moments, just a few drops in HS when I played football.

Team wise i'd say the Saints 49ers '11 playoff game. A few days after the heartbreak of the LSU/Bama title game my only reaction was to just walk out of my friend's dorm(was an FSU student at the time) and depressingly eat an entire pizza in the school cafeteria.
