Cincinnati Bearcats forward Simas Lukosius hit a last-second shot in overtime to outlast the San Francisco Dons in the NIT at Fifth Third Arena!

During the postgame press conference tonight, Lukosius discussed his game-winning play and reacted to the thrilling win over San Francisco.

"We put it in this summer and I don't remember running it. Some of us needed coach to draw it up in the timeout so that we could remember it."

It appeared the Bearcats were going to be taken out in the NIT opening round but Lukosius saved the day with an unforgettable postseason finish!
