You Motta Know Better

Two years ago Xavier watched a nine point lead whittle away in the final two minutes, only to have Ron Lewis nail a 28-footer at the buzzer to force overtime. Two years later, Xavier Coach Sean Miller still laments the decision NOT to foul before the 3-point attempt could be launched. The Buckeyes went onto win in OT, making it all the way to the National Championship Game before Oden, Conley and company lost to the Forida Gators.

Last night, a few hours to the north, the show was on the other foot. Up three with seconds to play, Siena canned a three pointer to force overtime. When Butler's shot bounced wide two buzzers later, the Siena Saints had won the tourney's most thrilling game, sending the Buckeyes and their stunned faithful home to an early exit.

Suffice it to say, everyone in the state of Ohio has learned the lesson by now; up three with less than five seconds to play, FOUL.
