ith 21.6 seconds remaining in overtime and the score tied at 77, Florida Atlantic head coach Michael Curry called upon his sophomore point guard Nick Rutherford to lead the team’s last possession. Rutherford drained the clock and isolated his defender.

He then tossed the ball up and banked it in, giving his Owls a 79-77 lead over Ohio State (7-2) with one second left on the clock.
