01/26/2007 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - A.J. Graves scored 10 points in overtime, connecting on a game-winning, three-point shot with 56 seconds to play, as 14th-ranked Butler edged Loyola-Chicago, 70-66, at the Joseph J. Gentile Center.
The Bulldogs (18-2, 6-1 Horizon) trailed in the final minute of regulation until Graves wiped out a two-point deficit with a pair of free throws to tie the game at 59-59 with 13 seconds to play. Blake Schilb missed a jumper for LCU, sending the game into the extra session.
Graves then caught fire, hitting a shot from beyond the arc to give Butler a 62-61 lead at 4:27. Majak Kou followed with a layup for Loyola, but Graves went right back down the floor and hit another three-pointer to give the Bulldogs a two-point edge.
Schilb's trey gave LCU the slim one-point lead again, but Graves was fouled by Majak with 1:46 to play, making the shot from the charity stripe to tie it at 66-66. Majak followed with a missed jumper, grabbed his own rebound, and had another shot ride off the rim. Brian Ligon pulled down the ball off the second missed shot and dished to Graves, who drained the decisive bucket.
Tracy Robinson missed a final three-point attempt for Loyola with five ticks to play, while Pete Campbell hit a free throw to account for the final margin.
Graves ended with 26 points for Butler, which won for the fourth straight time. Campbell contributed 12 points for the Bulldogs, while Mike Green and Drew Streicher each had nine.
Schilb netted a game-high 27 points and added 11 boards for the Ramblers (13-8, 4-4) who had a two-game winning streak halted. Kou ended with 14 points, while Leon Young donated 12 points and eight rebounds on the night.
Neither team trailed by my more than three in the early going, as the lead changed hands nine times in the first 11 minutes.
An eventual 8-2 run by the Bulldogs opened a 25-20 advantage at 6:57. Graves' three-pointer started the spurt, while Campbell's short jumper and trey sandwiched a Brandon Woods layup at the other end for LCU.
Butler maintained its lead down the stretch, as Graves' shot from beyond the arc sent the Bulldogs into the locker room holding a 35-27 advantage.
Butler led by as many as seven points in the second half, before the margin was erased on a pair of Young free throws and a couple of three-point shots by Schilb and Tom Levin.
Schilb's jumper gave LCU a 59-57 edge with just 25 seconds remaining in the contest, but Graves sent the game into overtime with the free throws.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
