INDIANAPOLIS - One of the most exciting basketball finishes I've ever seen ocurred Friday March 12 during the Big Ten Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
With 2.2 seconds to play and his team down by two points with the length of the court to go and no timeouts, Ohio State star Evan Turner launched the game-winning three point shot just shy of the half court line. The shot went in just as time expired, and could have put a heartbreaking end to an already tough season for the Michigan Wolverines, 69-68.
The Wolverines had erased multiple 10-point deficits and took their final lead at 68-66 on a Manny Harris jumper with just over two seconds to play. Harris led Michigan with 26 points. He hit a few key three-shots down the stretch.
The game was fitting for both teams. All year, Turner has found ways to win games for the Buckeyes, while the Wolverines fell to 1-7 in games decided by five points or less.
