Arike Ogunbowale, an American college player born of Nigerian descent , has twice shot a life to win his team, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the NCAA championship.
Competing against the number 1 seeded Mississippi Lady Lady Bulldogs, Ogunbowale recorded a 3-pointer with only 0.1 seconds to go!
That thing - he did it before, just 48 hours earlier.
In the semi-final match against UConn, Ogunbowale replaced the 2-pointer with just 1 second left, kicking the hopes of Kobe Bryant, a UConn fan there.Arike was born in the United States to Gregory and Yolanda Ogunbowale. Her father, Gregory, was a footballer in Nigeria and once served in the Nigerian Army before he relocated to the United States. Her mother, Yolanda, was her grade-school basketball coach.
Kobe had applauded her on the terrific shot, and she replied: “Wow, my life is complete. The GOAT
.” But he replied, saying it’s not complete until she finishes the job.
And she did finish the job, by cancelling opponents Mississippi by making that 3-pointer at the end of the game. As expected, she was named the tournament’s most outstanding player.
