NEW YORK -- Mike Williams stood on the free throw line at Madison Square Garden late Thursday night, not far from where he used to bounce basketballs to idols such as Latrell Sprewell and Allan Houston as a ballboy for the New York Knicks.
Rutgers' senior guard from Brooklyn bounced the ball a few times, then calmly drained both free throws to put the finishing touches on the 14th-seeded Scarlet Knights' 76-69 upset over 6th-seeded Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament second round.
"I felt like I had been there before,'' Williams said in a quiet moment inside the Scarlet Knights' victorious locker room.
