Brooklyn, N.Y. -- For Demetris Nichols, there was no hesitation, no consideration.
When he caught the ball on the right wing here at LIU-Brooklyn with a chance to win The Basketball Tournament game and advance Boeheim's Army to the Super 16, he was shooting it.
Boeheim's Army needed three points to secure a win, to survive and advance under Elam Ending rules. Nobody else, not one other Army team member, had made a 3-pointer all Sunday afternoon.
