I was in the MSU Dome for that one. Bottineau couldn't miss in the first half (Johnson was on fire at that point) and was up by 14 at halftime. With about 4-5 minutes to go, NR-S kept pecking away slowly at the lead, and tied it with a Bennefeld layin with less than a second to go in regulation. The atmosphere in the arena when that basket went in to force overtime was like nothing I'd ever seen at that point, and when Cudworth hit the bank shot to win the game, 67-65, the sheer exhilaration I felt at that exact moment in time (just as a photographer covering the event for the local rag) was almost like an out-of-body experience.
(Pardon the over-the-top hyperbole with the last sentence, but that was my story. It was easily the best game I've ever witnessed, and it was a shame someone had to lose.)

This one has my vote. If you like David and Goliath stories, this is the best one I know of. If by best, you are looking for the one with the most drama, this is the one.

In Class B the 2009 district 15 championship game when Mandaree upset Watford in New Town was also a very exciting game.
