Jerry Johnson walked ~off the Roor of the Pepsi Arena in Albany, N.Y. with his head down. Rider, the top seed in the Mctro Ad.antic Athletic Conference (MMC) Tournament, had just lost a heartbreaking quanCf~ final game against eighth-secdc:d Canisius. While the Golden Griffins celebr.lted in the background. Johnson could only think of what might h.ave bttn. With less than eight seconds mnaining in overtime.

Hodari Mallory proceeded to bank in a wild, [Wjsting I.:I.YUP at the buner, ending Rider's se:lSOn prematurtly. It would be e:uy to poim at Johnson's missed free throw as the reason the Broncs lost, but the truth is thar without Johnson, Rider never could have C\'tn dreamed of forcing overtime. The fresh Inan guard poured in 36 points, including a MMC Tournament-record eight thm-pointers. His shot latc in Ihe second half gave Rider.a n-75 lead, and his finalthrec-pointer of the game put the Broncs ahead 84-79 with 1:30 rtm.aining in overtime. If Rider fans want to point at reasons their team lost for the fifth straight ytar in the MMC quanerfinals, consider the following: The Brona., which led the league in fewest: points allowed during the n:guJar season, gave up 85 points to a Canisius team that finished next to last in scoring offense.
