Trailing Mississippi State 59-56 with seconds left in regulation, Alabama forward Mykal Riley heaves a buzzer beater as time expires in the 2008 SEC men’s basketball tournament.  Unknowingly, his shot has saved thousands of lives.  A few minutes into overtime, the Georgia Dome begins to shake.  A major tornado is sweeping through downtown Atlanta, the first to hit the city since the 1880s.  If the game ended in regulation, thousands would have been outside unprotected in the path of the oncoming twister. This “Miracle Three” prevented a major tragedy.  What followed was also a “miracle three” days when rivals united, heroes emerged and underdogs prevailed.
