10/09 VotD - Barton’s miraculous comeback

In case you somehow missed the highlights last spring, a Division II team grabbed lots of attention for its amazing comeback victory over Winona State in the DII Championship Game.

Barton came back from a seven point deficit with less than a minute left to end Winona State’s huge 57-game winning streak coming in to the game. Winona State doesn’t even begin to look worried until 25 seconds are left in the game.

In an article for USA Today, Barton’s athletic director recognized how amazing their feat was. “It’s almost a bad Disney movie. You couldn’t write a script where one guy scores 10 points in 38 seconds to win a national championship. The thought was that if you write that, people wouldn’t believe it. But we saw it.”
