Ohio State men's basketball | Mickey Mitchell provides boost off the bench
Enlarge Image Request to buy this photoIt’s still somewhat of a mystery how Mickey Mitchell came up with the ball.
Ohio State had blown a 13-point lead during the final 6:34 of regulation in Assembly Hall, and the Buckeyes were clinging to a three-point lead in overtime against Illinois when all heck broke loose. Somehow, Malcolm Hill lost the ball along the left wing and after a tackle or two during a mad scramble for the ball it was Mitchell who emerged with possession. Then, after a second of hesitation, he bolted upcourt, outraced the Illini defense and threw down a dunk with 1.8 seconds remaining to set the final score at 68-63.
