Atlanta - As Boeheim's Army kept chipping away at the Golden Eagles' advantage, as the Elam Ending was creeping ever closer to becoming a reality in this The Basketball Tournament game here, the Eagles determined the game would be won or lost from the 3-point line.
"At that point, we were going to take a 3 and end it," Travis Diener said. "We had some guys foul out. I just tried to make the 3."
Diener not only tried Sunday afternoon at Georgia State, he succeeded. His walk-off 3-pointer sealed a 90-86 win for the Marquette alumni over Boeheim's Army, thus eliminating the Syracuse-based team from any opportunity to win $2 million.
