March madness pressure

You see this a lot in the tournament: a good small school outplaying a big school through most of the game, then falling apart at the end. So today Xavier (9 seed) had an 8 pt. lead on Ohio State (1 seed) with 3 minutes left -- and fell apart. But with 9 seconds left, they still had a 2 pt. lead and 2 free throws. Make them both and it's a two possession game. But they made only one, Ohio State stormed down and hit a long 3 to send it into overtime. And in overtime, they just blew Xavier away. Oh so close! But not close enough.
