On March 14, 2008, Alabama found itself trailing Mississippi State 59-56 in the final seconds of the first quarterfinal game of the evening session. Crimson Tide guard Mykal Riley sank a last-second three-pointer as time expired, sending the game into overtime. That shot not only extended Alabama’s season for the moment, but it may have prevented thousands of fans from pouring into the city streets just as a tornado touched down outside the Georgia Dome a few minutes later. Though no one in the Georgia Dome was injured, the building felt the effects of the twister. Enough damage was done to the Georgia Dome to not only delay the completion of the Alabama-Mississippi State game and eventually cause a postponement of the last quarterfinal game of the day, but also to force SEC officials to find a new home to finish the tournament on schedule. Ultimately the University of Georgia Bulldogs, who finished last in the regular season, managed to win three games in a 30-hour period to earn the conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament berth. In Miracle 3, director Rory Karpf explores how a stunning and potentially devastating weather event touched off a series of situations that tested all involved like never before.

Hmmm. Seems like they might be running out of ideas.

Remember when a TORNADO hit the Georgia Dome... and the lights stayed on.

Hundreds of people could've been killed if he had missed that 3 pointer.

I can remember the exact bar I was in, the exact drink I was enjoying, and the exact OT8 that was giving me the cold shoulder when all of this happened.

I remember watching that game. Crazy shite.

I also remember watching Arkansas vs Georgia at Ga Tech's arena, with like zero fans. Creepy.

frick yes.

I still don't think people really grasp how monumental and dare I say miraculous that tourney run was for UGA. We were AWFUL, a terrible basketball team. We won 4 games that weekend including a double header 1 day, beat Kentucky on a last second 3 pointer, and ended up winning the whole thing in front of like 50 people on our biggest rival's home court. It really was a storybook weekend.

I remember EXACTLY where I was when I was watching this game. I didn't have a clue what was going on.

We ended up winning, but lost to Crappy Georgia in the semis
