With three seconds of play re maining in the overtime stanza, and Ccilgate ahead, 68 to 67, Lamie was once again put on the spot and given ,the opportunity to' tie the game with another foul toss. , Taking the ball from the refe ree in a silence that was awing for such a large crowd, Lamie took "a deep breath, dipped, and sent the ball toward the hoop, but the terrific pressure took its toll.
