Message: [QUOTE="tbonezone, post: 2167787, member: 1028"] still mad about the free throws ? [I]In the Carrier Classic, early his senior season, Byrnes matched up with the notable Earvin 'Magic' Johnson. Byrnes would win the individual match up, and the Orangemen would win the inaugural Classic. In the ECAC playoffs Byrnes proved his mettle once again, pulling down 18 rebounds in the Orange victory. In the NCAA tournament the Orangemen struggled against lower seed Western Kentucky. The team was able to take the game to overtime. Down by one point late in the extra period, the Orangemen ran a play to have Byrnes take the last shot. Byrnes drove to the hoop, made the basket and was fouled. However, the second referee overruled the original call, saying the basket did not count. Byrnes had to go to the line for a one and one. One free throw would tie the game, the second would win. Byrnes took his shot, missed and the Orangemen were sent home with a first round loss. [/I] [/QUOTE]
