Last Night's Winner: Goat To Hero In Just Two Missed Free Throws

VCU product Jamal Shuler steps to the free throw line with 6 seconds left, his French team up one. What happens next, c'est incroyable.

Shuler graduated in 2008, and like so many of our not-quite-good-enough basketball players, took his talents overseas. In his case, to Vichy of France's LNB. In a game against Limoges, Shuler had a chance to close down the game. Up one, two free throws. Brick. Brick.


Limoges pushed it up the court with some nifty passing, and put in the go-ahead bucket with 1.4 left on the clock. But, naturally, the ball ended up back in Shuler's hands, redemption just half a court away.

Cue the screaming Frenchmen.
