We’re gonna go out on a limb here and say that you probably didn’t catch the Arizona Western College/Central Arizona College game on Saturday afternoon. It looks like it was a good game—AWC won 87-84 in overtime after blowing a nine-point halftime lead—but until five seconds ago, you probably didn’t even know that either team existed.
The game featured one of the craziest college basketball plays that we’ve seen so far this season, though. With time winding down towards the end of OT, CAC guard Trace Dimeff suffered what he later described as a “mild concussion" after colliding with another player. But despite going down and staying down on the court for a few seconds, he managed to stand up after his team got a steal, drift into the corner, and sink a clutch three to pull his team to within one point—even though he couldn’t even stand up straight. We’re actually not even sure how he pulled it off, but it was all part of a career game for him:
To be honest, it would have been great to see a referee blow the play dead prior to Dimeff’s three, because he was obviously not OK. Even after he hit his big shot, it appears as though the game’s refs were slow to stop the contest to check on him as he wobbled around on the court. But last night, he revealed that he’s recovering from the head injury that he suffered:
Nice shot, but get well soon, man.
