With 1:48 left, Casey Morsell made a free throw for 14 seed Oakland Grizzlies to give them a 64-63 lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NC State\u2019s Michael O\u2019Connell drove to the basket with the shot clock running down and made the layup and got fouled. His free throw put the Wolfpack up 66-64 with 54 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jack Gohlke got fouled on the other side of the court and hit his free throws to tie the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NC State got the ball to DJ Burn like they wanted, but his layup was just a little strong giving Oakland what looked like the final possession. But Chris Conway threw the ball out of bounds with 2 seconds left. After a replay, it looked like it clearly went off the NC State defender, but the call on the court stood. Casey Morsell put up a half court prayer that went off the backboard and rim and fell to the ground – meaning five more minutes between the two double digit seeds trying to make it to the Sweet 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
