A meaningless Georgia Tech buzzer-beater long three turned into a horrendous bad beat

What a year for bad beats it’s been, eh?

There was the 49ers touchdown last week, a South Carolina touchdown against Alabama in September, a Cowboys defensive TD … and now this one from Georgia and Georgia Tech on Wednesday night.

Let’s set the situation: Georgia was up at home 82-75 against Georgia Tech with the last three seconds ticking down. Bettors had either Georgia at minus-4.5 or -5.5, so the Bulldogs were covering as the game was about to end.

But then Michael Devoe decided to heave from just in front of halfcourt at the buzzer. Swish. Final score: 82-78.

Oh no. Oh NOOOOOO!

You know what came next:

The funny thing is there’s a fan in the front row who has a shocked reaction. Did that mean that person had money on this one? Oof.
