- | But as badly as the Golden Eagles needed to get off the bubble, they also needed to prove to themselves that somehow, some way they could pull out a road game against a top-notch opponent when all the chips were down. | ||
- | |||
- | Thanks to a mix of some timely late scoring by [[Darius Johnson-Odom]], | ||
- | |||
- | Johnson-Odom sent the game into overtime with a drive with 5.3 seconds remaining, then scored nine of the Golden Eagles' | ||
- | |||
- | "We definitely needed it," said senior [[Jimmy Butler]]. "We needed a quality road win - a road win, period - but we needed a game that when we're up that we could finish out a game and win it. | ||
- | |||
- | "We were up and gave that lead back, but we kept playing Marquette ball, so to speak, and toughed it out, and at the end of the game we won." | ||
- | |||
- | A quick glance at the final numbers wouldn' | ||
- | |||
- | But MU knocked down seven more free throws than UConn even attempted and committed just two turnovers in the final 25 minutes while also turning over the normally sure-handed Walker at midcourt with about 10 seconds left to play, leading to Johnson-Odom' | ||
- | |||
- | "I don't know that there' | ||
- | |||
- | "We had every reason, because of how good they were, to shut it down, and I thought our guys hung in there." | ||
- | |||
- | Williams uncharacteristically had his team play a 2-3 zone for much of the first half. UConn was playing with associate head coach George Blaney calling the shots in place of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun, who missed the game after the death of his sister-in-law. | ||
- | |||
- | In using the zone, MU was able to turn an 11-3 deficit into a 34-23 halftime lead as it flummoxed the Huskies for long stretches with the look. | ||
- | |||
- | "I wanted to keep them off-balance," | ||
- | |||
- | UConn opened the second half on a 20-4 run, holding the Golden Eagles to just one field goal in the first 10 minutes 22 seconds. But MU settled down, found some rhythm and regained the lead, 56-55, at the 3:04 mark on [[Junior Cadougan]]' | ||
- | |||
- | The Huskies led, 59-57, with 31.5 seconds remaining when Blaney called a timeout to set up a play. Williams, meanwhile, instructed his team not to foul Walker. | ||
- | |||
- | After trapping the junior guard near midcourt and forcing him to call another timeout, Williams' | ||
- | |||
- | Buycks got the ball to Johnson-Odom, | ||
- | |||
- | "I thought I had a three-point shot," said Johnson-Odom, | ||
- | |||
- | Johnson-Odom then scored the first three points of the extra session, getting MU out to a lead it wouldn' | ||
- | |||
- | The Huskies got to within 66-65 with 2:05 left, but two straight Johnson-Odom jumpers followed by four straight free throws from Buycks and Johnson-Odom slammed the door. | ||
