This is still my all-time favorite Xavier highlight: https://youtu.be/MUVbyoOSXE0?t=5295

They were so concerned about Duncan -- you can see how the entire defense is geared to deny him the ball. BJ's man leaves him to double Duncan as he cuts to the elbow on the near side and what amazing patience and court vision by Burrell to get the pass over to Raymond.

TBH, its really good defense by West Virginia -- its almost a 5-second call, and the only option was a cross-court pass from out of bounds. Problem is, Burrell and Raymond executed perfectly on that. I'll never forget BJ's face running back up the court.

This great memory all made possible by Joe Alexander (NBA bust), an 81% FT shooter, missing his and 1 FT throw with 14 secs left and game tied.

Love it!

I remember watching the game at the Rookwood B-Dubs my junior year of college. Lots of Xavier fans there, and my future wife and I were trash talking back and forth with her sister, a WVU alumni, the entire game lol.

Unbelievable game!

X had such a fantastic start, and then slowly let WVU back into the game. I was on a business trip so I started watching it from a Champs next to my hotel. Once X let the lead get away, I immediately paid my bill and went back to the hotel to finish watching the game. Jason Love's legacy is not marred because Alexander missed that FT (after a mind boggling foul). Game goes to OT and BJ Raymond enters into Legendary Xavier status!

Do it BJ!!!!
