best. [whistle] there's a foul down low and it's called against xavier's backup guard dee davis. it will be a 1-1. clark: he's trying to wrestle with cooley because of the switch. see, they switched on the screen and davis down there trying to wrestle with cooley and giving up an awful lot of size and weight. there it is. davis took the worst of it but i think he got up under cooley. and that's why he got whistled for the foul. jim: it's a short stint for davis. and cooley will be shooting 1-1. seventh team foul on xavier. cooley is 1-3 tonight from the line.

a notre dame team that finished third in the regular season in the big east. 15-5. syracuse regular season champs. marquette finished second and then there was notre dame. after last year going 14-4. back-to-back good, good seasons there turned in by mike brey and his staff. wells. [whistle] that is going to go against notre dame that time. clark: scott martin guilty. is that his fourth? jim: it is. four on martin. clark: right now you can see xavier playing through its top three scorers, holloway, lyons, and dez wells. dee davis about to check back in. it's about execution now, jim. that's what it comes down to.

neither team looking to run in transition. every possession is played in the half court. jim: so davis hops back onto the floor after a brief break. and here is the fresh 3457b -- freshman from raleigh, north carolina. tremendous upside they'll tell you at xavier and he hits them both. both. one-point game. that got right to holloway. and giving xavier the lead!

they've come back from 11 down in this half. from 10 down to one up. holloway has 23. xavier has its first lead since 24: 22 with 5:30 to go -- first half. half. jim: robinson whistled for that i care about my car because... i think it's a cool car. i think it's stylish and it makes a statement at the same time. and i've never had a car like that. people don't totally understand how the volt works. when the battery runs down the gas engine operates. i don't ever worry about running out of battery power... because it just switches over to my gas engine. i very rarely put gas in my chevy volt. i love my chevy volt and i've never loved a car. ♪

hey, thanks, again! evebut what about the pass?t. no pass, no shot. you need a special kind of player to get the ball exactly where it needs to be, exactly when it needs to be there. that changes the game. and that is what we do. jim: let's take a look at the capital one cup impact performance.

clark: tu holloway. xavier's first lead since 5:30 in the first half. 23 points. 1-1 coming up for jack cooley. made half of his free throws is that right, jim? 2-4? jim: have him for 2-5 now. clark: ok. jim: just before it hit the front end but missed the back end of the 1-1. and again more struggles at the line. clark: no reason for the playmake tore not be either tu holloway or mark lyons here. doesn't mean he has to take the shot but he should have the option to make the play. jim: holloway.

cooley was losing his balance and was able to get it away without a travel. notre dame fans rising to their feet. as we approach 2:30 to go. one-point lead, xavier. atkins. puts it up and almost got to it spin in. brings it back out for the fresh 35. so the irish fortunate there. did not get off a good shot but able to keep possession. two minutes to go. here's grant.

tapped up. no. cooley, yes! notre dame leads again. clark: that big fellow just goes after the fall. still perfect from the floor. jim: 8-8. holloway. and robinson blocked away. put up by wells and he's fouled. connaughton on the foul. two free throws coming. second on connaughton. clark: wells a 6 % free throw shooter. not close there. -- 68% free throw shooter. jim: 3-6 tonight. this one to tie it. with 1:34 to go.

60 will have 60. the ninth tie of the night. clark: intent to take it down under 10 second on the clock. that's been the story all game long. mike brey early on identified the pace that he wanted this game played and his team has done an excellent job of executing late-clock situations. jim: grant, stepback three! and notre dame gets the big shot from jerian grant. ball on the floor. frease able to save it and a time-out called by the bench. what a big shot.

jim: xavier down to one time-out. notre dame has two. clark: jim, you're down three. if you're xavier you don't need a three-point shot here. you get a good look at it from one of your better three-point shooters you take it. but you better be thinking high-quality shot and fairly quickly. 29 seconds left on the shot clock. you certainly don't want to use all of that. jim: lyons driving the baseline. nice work. mark lyons, junior from new york, cuts it down to one. clark: oh, wow. jim: what was that?

clark: that was eric atkins. jim: here is one of the best teams in college basketball at not committing turnovers. clark: that had no chance. wow. jim: time-out called by notre jim: time-out called by notre dame. jim: tee us up, clark kellogg.

ball belongs to xavier. 32 seconds to go. shot clock is turned off. musketeers down by one. clark: down one you obviously can't go just for the win. i think you look probably in that 10-, 12-second area or you go right away and get the best shot available. go fairly quick and try to take the lead and then put it on your defense. jim: puts up the shot. banks it in for the lead! what a shot by tu holloway! notre dame inside 20 seconds. they have one time-out. they're not going to take it. grant over to connaughton. now they do. it comes from the bench. 64-63 xavier. what a shot. what a shot. clark: amazing shot here.

the only reason you got me was for basketball. but for today's game, i'm a little... [ neck cracks ] fuzzy. so you tried to fix me. but you just made me loose. newsflash. if you have cut rate insurance you might not be covered for this. so get allstate and protect your house and car from mayhem like me. [ dennis ] dollar for dollar, nobody protects you from mayhem like allstate. jim: back with 12.8 seconds to go and notre dame trailing by one. as we've pushed past midnight and into st. patrick's day and we'll see what the fighting irish can come up with here. 12 seconds remaining. clark: you can't use all of this clock.

you have to try to drive it to the goal. both teams over the limit. cooley has yet to miss. grant has been terrific. so i think you get those guys involved with whatever set you have that could get the ball inside or create an opportunity for grant to create. xavier, on the other hand, has to be ready to defend without fouling and then when the shot does go up, if it's missed, everybody has to board. jim: off on the three. wells is fouled. it will be a 1-1 at the other end. clark: that was a pretty good look. i'm not too displeased with that shot. he's made a couple of big ones. got a good look at it. defenders had backed off and important thing was you did it early. jim: the foul was on martin and that fouls him out. he got as good a look as you

could expect. clark: no question about it. jim: remember, it's a 1-1 at the other end. notre dame is out of time-outs, so whatever happens here off the free throws, at worst you have a chance for the three for the tie. you may have a chance to drive down the court and win. clark: that's why it was so important to go early to give yourself a chance for this scenario. jim: we're going to double check the time. clark: rebound -- jim: the officials are looking at this clark: actually the foul there. that's pretty close to what's on the clock, don't you think? jim: it is pretty close. they may adjust a couple of tenth. going to leave it as is, it appears. a 1-1. clark: they did at .3, jim.

jim: wells. it has not been easy for him at the line. young man out of raleigh. 1-1. his team leads by one. clark: that's it. now if he makes this the question is do you foul? 8.4. that's probably a tad too much to commit the foul. my theory is if it's five or less and you're plus three, you foul. jim: again, notre dame with no time-outs. here's the second one. it's off, and here we go. eight second to go. three to win, two to tie. [whistle] atkins checked up and there's a foul called. fouled by davis and it's still in a 1-1. clark: good job by atkins just to try to split the defenders

and there you see the foul. davis not able to cut him off. good aggressive drive, though, by atkins. davis shaken up. atkins will be at the line. as you said, jim, 1-1. he is a 72% free thrower. jim: eric atkins, sophomore from columbia, maryland. he was the backup last year to ben hansbrough. here we go. 1-1. with 2.8 seconds. got the first! oh, they're going to call a lane violation on notre dame! what a time to call this. clark: wow. my goodness. jim: boy, that didn't look

anything out of the ordinary to me. clark: boy, that's a tough one there. the guys leaning in, grabbing. i'm with you, jim. jim: it's after atkins deadeyed the first shot dead center. clark: i'm not sure what happened there. they're saying it was -- they're saying it was jerian grant. here he is right here, and that is the rule. that is the rule. when you're outside of the three-point -- when you're outside of the three-point arc in college basketball, you cannot run into that foul lane area before the ball is released. jim: it happened yesterday in the syracuse game. 2.8 seconds to go. clark: and it was the right call.

i was locked into cooley and it was grant. jim: a foul called on connaughton. and they say it was intentional. clark: wow, tough way, if this ends up being the free throws that seal it for xavier, but that was the right call, folks. jim: free throws and possession. clark: yeah. grant moved early based on where he was. you can't run into that area. before the ball is released. jim: wells will shoot the free throws off the intentional foul. foul. he'll get two.

xavier is going to twin game. and here's why they called it intentional. clark: yep. jim: pulling the shirt. clark: that's easy. two tough calls but two correct calls. jim: both in the last 2.8 seconds. and xavier -- ball is stolen by atkins. [whistle] clark: and he shot that one over the backboard. can't go from behind the backboard over. jim: xavier is going to come back from 10 down in the second half. clark: they've done it quite a few times this year. jim: going to be its sixth double-digit comeback win of the year. the largest from 19 down to beat purdue early in the season. game is over. xavier moving on to the third round!

greg g.: welcome back to our new york studios and "road to the final four," everyone. i'm greg gumbel along with greg anthony, kenny smith and charles barkley. let's wrap up the scoreboard. in the game just completed, notre dame falling to xavier, 67-63. the musketeers advance to play lehigh. in the midwest region, detroit falls to kansas. the jayhawks, the number two seed win it 65-50. kansas will next meet purdue. south florida shot 11% in the

first half, 61% in the second half. beat temple and will play ohio university next, and in west region action, michigan state, the top seed in the west, 89-67 winners over l.i.u. brooklyn and they will play st. louis university next. tomorrow, the infiniti ncaa tip-off show comes your way at 5:00 p.m. eastern time. and look at the last time on cbs -- kenny, who are you watch something kenny: syracuse-k. state. you look at syracuse, without melo, they become a small team. and mcgruder, how he played yesterday. scoring 30 points.

and you can't sleep on the big kid jordan hen rick easy. k-state becomes the big team. greg a.: ohio state was terrific but jared sullinger didn't have the kind of impact i think he's going to have to this -- have in this one if they want to beat gonzaga. greg g.: cluck? charles: my head is going to explode. hahn, these referees are killing me. i know all the rules but that wasn't right what happened in that notre dame-xavier game. and i don't care what john adams or anybody says. you cannot call those calls with the game on the line. referees cannot decide the game. these guys busted their hump for 40 minutes and to make a call like that, it's a disgrace. now, murray state and marquette. i'm looking forward to that

game. murray state is built guard-oriented. canen and those guys, shoot threes. marquette can play with that but i think the difference in the game will be jae crowder. kenny: john adams, please change the rule. we don't want charles' held to explode. charles: you're trying to foul. just to make it look not intentional. but to give the team a foul and the ball -- i hate that intentional call. greg a.: kenny made a great point too. i think one thing the officials should do, why don't they warn the players before the free throw is taken. because you shouldn't want to have to call a violation. charles: i have a bailout. get the officials with good common sense. common on, -- come on, man! kenny: clean it up inside, no more elbows.
