The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about Wednesday.
Ugly incident in Pennsylvania high-school basketball game. In a high-school basketball game between two high schools from outside Philadelphia, things turned ugly at the end. After one of his players was called for a charging foul, Neshaminy head coach Jerry Devine argued the call with one referee when a second official came up and appeared to call a technical foul on Devine. That's when Devine appeared to head-butt the official who called the technical foul. You can read more here.
A buzzer-beating dunk! Buzzer-beaters seem fairly common, but much less common is a buzzer-beating dunk. That is what happened between Vanderbilt and Arkansas. Down by two points with 2.2 seconds left, Vandy needed to go the length of the court to tie the game. The long pass was caught by Damian Jones, who then boldly dribbled to the basket and slammed it home just as time expired. Replays showed the ball was out of his hand just as the clock hit 0.0. Arkansas, however, went on to win 90-85 in overtime.
Oh no, Dirk! OK. The whistle had already blown and Dirk Nowitzki was probably not giving 100% effort here. But still, this is difficult to watch for one of the great 7-footers of all time.
