He had the big guy on him. I knew he could take him. I gave it to him and I spaced out. I just let him go.Seton Hall led 64-60 after a foul shot by Rodriguez with 1:49 left, but the Gamecocks rallied and tied it on two free throws by Justin McKie with 34.3 seconds remaining.Willard said it was dead silent in the huddle when he called a timeout with 17 seconds remaining.
