The Shot that Saved Lives (aka Mykal Riley sends Bama vs Miss St to OT)

Alabama's Mykal Riley goes for a desperation 3 pointer that somehow makes it in at the buzzer sending this SEC tournament game to overtime. If Riley's shot hadn't gone in thousands of people would have been streaming out of the Georgia Dome right as the worst of a EF2 tornado was ripping through downtown Atlanta. Instead the crowd stayed safely sheltered but the tornado did later interrupt overtime when parts of the Dome's roof finally gave way to the 130mph winds.
