Best B-Ball Photo of my Career

I'm not sure if I'll be able to top this. I took it tonight when Valpo was playing Miami Ohio for an ESPN Bracket Buster game... I don't remember whether this was in the first or second overtime (I'm tempted to stay the first overtime) but Valpo ended up winning 99-94.
EDIT: I watched the recording of the game on ESPN Classic on my DVR and was able to confirm, it was taken with under 30 seconds left in the first of two overtimes.

This is the first time I've taken a photo that I want to blow up and put on MY wall really big :) Right after I took it I was in shock, lol.

Enjoy! (More photos from the game to come later when I have time to sleep, until then I only uploaded this one!)

    Actually one of my favorite things about this photo is that I didn't have to crop it or anything... the ONLY thing I changed in post processing was lightening it up just a touch. :)

    I did and need to take photos of the layouts...sorry been a busy week so I had almost forgotten to do that... though as my original post mentioned the bums only wrote "photo provided" and not my name on them... but alas they later decided that grad students aren't eligible to submit photos (only undergrads they say) so those were my first and last photos in the student newspaper, heh.

    By the way: this photo is going to be used in the Valparaiso University Ad for future games that gets put into the Post Tribune out here :) and that WILL have my name on it!
