After trailing by 13 in the first half and letting a one point deficit drift back up to 10 midway through the second half, Marquette found themselves with the ball down three with 17 seconds to play. Seems obvious, hold for the final shot, force overtime.
Nope.
Markus Howard attacked the rim and got his shot blocked. Creighton ball. MU fouled, the lead ballooned to five with eight seconds left. Sam Hauser missed a nearly pointless prayer of a three, Joseph Chartouny reeled in the miss and put it in to pointlessly cut the lead to two.
