On this day in 2007, Ohio State, which was led by Freshmen sensations: Mike Conley, Greg Oden, David Leighty and Dequan Cook, along with junior Jamar Butler and Senior Ron Lewis took on Xavier, which was led by Seniors Justin Doleman, Justin Cage, Juniors Josh Duncan, Stanley Burrell and Drew Lavender. The Musketeers led by 9 with less than 3 minutes to go. No lead was safe against the 2007 Buckeyes, who were playing their 4th game at Rupp Arena since the 1992 NCAA Tournament. The Buckeyes railed and trailed by 2 with 9 seconds left. Xavier senior Justin Cage made one of two free throws to set up Ron Lewis' game tying three.
Ohio State would go on to win in Overtime 78-71, ending the careers of Justin Doleman, Justin Cage and the Xavier career of backup point guard St. Xavier Grad Johnny Wolf.
