Justin Cage talks about his Xavier Hall of Fame induction, last game against Ohio State

The end is unavoidable and often unforgettable for an athlete.

For Justin Cage, the end is always there. It's followed the former Xavier University basketball star all over the world as he carved out a successful professional basketball career overseas.

The end – a 2007 second-round NCAA Tournament game against Ohio State – carries a wide range of emotions with it. In his last college basketball game, Cage played his best game: a career-high 25 points on a perfect night from the field (8 for 8) with six rebounds.

"Justin Cage played out of his mind," said Danny Peters, who was a freshman walk-on for the Buckeyes in 2007 and now finds himself on Xavier's bench as one of Travis Steele's assistant coaches.
