March 24, 2017 It’s 8:08 AM on August 8, 1988, and the evil Dr. H8 has brought the world to the brink of total annihilation. His demands are simple: pay $88 octillion within 88 minutes, or Dr. H8’s 88 thermo-nuclear warheads will wipe out the Earth! Smosh Game Bang (officially simplified as Game Bang) was a show that aired on Smosh Games every Friday. The show used to come out alongside Top 5, but in early 2014, Top 5 was moved to Saturdays, making Game Bang the only Friday series. In late March 2018, they celebrated the '272nd' Game Bang (although it was the 288th episode) with an hour-long special episode, and ended this episode with. Big Breeze for Snipe Don Q. March 24th, 2017. Miami, FL (March 24, 2017) – The first day of the 51st Annual Snipe Don Q Regatta experienced blustery wind.
Yikes. The worst. Awful. Atrocious.
Those are just some of the words being tossed around to describe the final possession of the West Virginia Mountaineers’ season. And to be honest, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
The Mountaineers had the ball down three with 37.9 seconds left on the clock — plenty of time to score quickly and foul, or, milk it for the last shot.
Or, do whatever it was West Virginia did.
The team’s leading scorer Jevon Carter (finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds) was the target, and got the ball with plenty of time on the clock, but decided to heave up a contested three that resulted in an air ball.
West Virginia got the rebound and dished back to Carter, who chucked it up from downtown yet again, this time grazing the rim.
The Mountaineers got the rebound, a fresh shot clock, and could hold for the last shot again.
So they gave it to Carter once more, who paced behind the arc looking for his third three-point attempt until he inexplicably dished it off to Daxter Miles Jr., who tried in vain to get a shot off with time about to expire to no avail.
And just like that, the Mountaineers season was over with a 61-58 loss to Gonzaga. But, Twitter’s reactions were just beginning.
If there's ever been a worse game ending possession in the organized basketball, I'm not aware of it. pic.twitter.com/s6EYpeflBv

Carter thought he was young Kobe in Utah.

WVU played the 30 seconds like there was one second left.
Then they played the last one second like there was 30 seconds left. https://t.co/y612yjnzmg

Air ball three, 30 foot three, dribble for 10 seconds and then dump it off with a second left. Yikes #WVU
