After Isiah Livers grabbed the rebound and tossed it up the court to Charles Matthews, the four Boilermakers seniors watched as his heave from just inside the half court line floated towards the rim, seemingly on target, knowing their last chance for a win in the Crisler Center hung in the balance.
The ball ricocheted off iron. Then glass. The Boilermakers won. The seniors check off one of their pre-season goals. Get their first W Ann Arbor after two heartbreaking defeats to the Wolverines last year.
The Boilermakers pulled out the thriller, 70-69, after dominating most of the early game.
