If you're Jermaine Marshall, it doesn't get much worse than this.

The former Arizona State Sun Devils basketball player now plays professionally in Greece -- and during Saturday's Greek League playoffs, he cost his team, AE Nea Kifisia, a victory by scoring on his own basket in the game's final second to tie the game. Kifisia went on to lose 108-103 in overtime.

Marshall, a 6-foot-4 guard, played his final NCAA season in Tempe in 2013-14 after spending his first three seasons at Penn State. He averaged 15.3 points per game during his only season as a Sun Devil, tied for the fifth-highest total in the Pac-12.
