Irish's Arike Ogunbowale hits shot of a lifetime ... again

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- First she punched the padded support behind the basket in frustration.

A few minutes later she threw her hands in the air in exultation.

As her last shot dropped through the net, the most frustrating 39 minutes and 57 seconds of Arike Ogunbowale's young basketball life vanished into the same air confetti would soon fill.

Her 3-pointer in the final second -- and it will go down as the greatest last-second shot in championship game history even if it took too many minutes to confirm one-tenth of a second was left on the clock -- lifted Notre Dame to a 61-58 win against Mississippi State and the biggest comeback in championship game history.
