Missouri boys basketball team wins with just two players left on court

Rarely is two is better than five. Certainly not on a basketball court.

But Marion County (Philadelphia, Mo.) was left with two players this week after four of its six players fouled out and, amazingly, the Mustangs (4-11) pulled out a 51-50 win over Atlanta.

According to whig.com, Marion County's Ty Bowdish grabbed a rebound of a missed free throw, dribbled the length of the court, was fouled with 1.4 seconds left and made one of two freebies to break a 50-all tie. Bowdish, who had four fouls himself, scored his team's final 15 points to finish with a game-high 28 points.

Marion County players fouled out with 3 minutes left, 2:45 and 2:05 before a fourth was dismissed with just more than one minute left.

Atlanta (2-12) couldn't quite capitalize, even with only two Mustangs playing defense in the paint.

Losing HC would have some explaining to do after that game.

It would be so sweet if the Cowboys could do that.

I thought teams were allowed to keep 5 on the court if they foul out, the are just in the penalty for the rest of play?
