No. 5 – Greg Oden’s Block Against Tennessee (2007)
No. 1 seed Ohio State found itself down by 20 points early in the game against No. 5 seed Tennessee in a Sweet Sixteen matchup, but clawed its way back. With just 6.5 seconds remaining, point guard Mike Conley, Jr. hit the first of two free throws to put the Buckeyes ahead 85-84. He missed the second, and the stage was set.
The Volunteers’ Ramar Smith went end-to-end and flipped a shot up from the right side on the blocks that would most likely have gone down for a game winner. But Greg Oden — who had been saddled with foul trouble all game — came across the lane to help, elevated and got just a wee-bit of a finger on the shot for a game-winning block. Ohio State survived and went on to the Final Four and eventual spot in the national championship game.
