Scariest games ever

It probably was, and I just missed it.

No game ends 3-3 after regulation, not even 8 year old kids' games!

Well, when my little tiny private high school first put a girls' team together, they lost a game 4-2 in their first season.

I have never seen a game where neither team would score in double digits, but there was a game in a women's national cup competition a couple of years ago, where a professional team rolled over an amateur team (rec-league level) ... the final score was 285 - 0 (yes, zero!)

Never figured out how that happened. While I expected it to be very lopsided (The club's first team had been crushed in a regular season game of the national championship only days before the cup game, so they didn't send their pros but the 3rd or 4th team.), I still can't imagine how a team can't score a single basket in 40 minutes. I don't remember whether they made it to the freethrow line or not, but you would think they should have made at least one shot ...

@eg: Where do you ref in Italy (which league)? I like to watch the referees in games from Italy, Spain or Greece. These are not only the strongest competitions in Europe (besides European Cups and EuroLeague of course), but I think that the level of refereeing is also very high.

As I explained, 3-3 was the partial score in the second overtime. It was a men's game, third division. Never seen a game in which one of the teams didn't score in double figures; but some years ago, in my town, there was a 307-2 (13 year old boys).

Not officiating any more (Achilles' tendon refused to follow my career advancement hopes ) Thank you for the kind comments on the refereeing level, also I think that we have some good officials in Italy and there are good ones in Euroleague.

Had a JV girls game go OT. No one scored for either team from about 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter until 2 minutes into the 2nd overtime. 8 solid minutes without so much as a made free throw.
Had a girl on the line at the end of the first OT and she clanked 'em both. 2nd OT was a shoot out with the visitors outscoring the home team 5-2.

I know you talked about overtime only, but Scrapper said something about a game that ended 4-2 after regulation.

Ok, so where did you referee until you had to finish? By the way, I'm really sorry for anybody who has to give up refereeing because of health issues. I can feel my knees as I am thinking about this.

I watch a lot of games from Italian Lega A, Spanish ACB and Euroleague to learn from the officials. I referee on a professional level myself, but these leagues are way ahead of the competition in my country

Drain (Oregon) vs Wilbur, varsity boys. 1-0, in 1927. Two other games have since matched that score. The latest was 1930, when Georgetown (Illinois) defeated Homer by a score of 1-0.

Drain, now known as North Douglas, has improved. This season they beat Central Linn 106-88, and are fourth in the Oregon 2A Coaches Poll. Wilbur High School no longer exists.
